MEL to TPE questions
Is MEL–TPE running on time right now?
Mostly on schedule. Both endpoints currently score the same, route health score 69/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from MEL to TPE?
Great-circle distance is 7,401 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 552–664 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does MEL–TPE fly?
China Airlines runs the route with about 4 flights a week (sun, tue, 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 MEL and arrival-side delay at TPE, 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.
