MDE to CTG questions
Morning or evening flight on MDE–CTG?
Operators schedule morning departures around 05:00 and evening departures around 17:40 from MDE. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the CTG delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.
How long is the flight from MDE to CTG?
Great-circle distance is 476 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 64–71 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does MDE–CTG fly?
4 carriers operate this route, around 109 flights a week between them. Compare carrier days and times in the airline list above.
What does the route health score measure?
A blend of departure-side delay at MDE and arrival-side delay at CTG, 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.
