MSY to CVG questions
Is MSY–CVG running on time right now?
Significant delay risk. The departure side at MSY is the weaker end, route health score 50/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from MSY to CVG?
Great-circle distance is 1,129 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 110–127 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does MSY–CVG fly?
Sun Country Airlines runs the route with about 7 flights a week (daily). 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 MSY and arrival-side delay at CVG, 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.
