MDW to MSN questions

Is MDW–MSN running on time right now?

High disruption likely. The departure side at MDW is the weaker end, route health score 16/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.

How long is the flight from MDW to MSN?

Great-circle distance is 199 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 44–47 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does MDW–MSN fly?

Kalitta Charters runs the route with about 1 flight a week (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 MDW and arrival-side delay at MSN, 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.
