How long is the flight from MSP to ABQ?

Great-circle distance is 1,577 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 141–165 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does MSP–ABQ fly?

What does the route health score measure?

A blend of departure-side delay at MSP and arrival-side delay at ABQ, 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.
