MDE to BLB questions
How long is the flight from MDE to BLB?
Great-circle distance is 553 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 69–77 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does MDE–BLB fly?
Copa Colombia runs the route with about 7 flights a week (sun, mon, tue, wed, fri, sat). 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 MDE and arrival-side delay at BLB, 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.
