How the N'Djamena to Cairo route actually runs

NDJ to CAI questions
How long is the flight from NDJ to CAI?
Great-circle distance is 2,617 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 215–254 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does NDJ–CAI fly?
EgyptAir runs the route with about 5 flights a week (sun, tue, wed, thu, 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 NDJ and arrival-side delay at CAI, 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.
