NWI to FAO questions
How long is the flight from NWI to FAO?
Great-circle distance is 1,884 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 163–191 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does NWI–FAO fly?
Ryanair runs the route with about 3 flights a week (mon, wed, sat). 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 NWI and arrival-side delay at FAO, 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.
