MAN to KEF questions

Is MAN–KEF running on time right now?

Smooth skies ahead. The departure side at MAN is the weaker end, route health score 94/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.

How long is the flight from MAN to KEF?

Great-circle distance is 1,653 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 147–172 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does MAN–KEF fly?

Icelandair runs the route with about 4 flights a week (sun, mon, wed, fri). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.

What does the route health score measure?

A blend of departure-side delay at MAN and arrival-side delay at KEF, computed from rolling delay windows (refreshed every 40 minutes) with a daily-rollup fallback. Current MVFR, IFR, or LIFR endpoint weather caps the score when flight rules can limit throughput. Higher is healthier: 100 means operations are clean at both ends.
