Pro Flight Search records official board updates for nonstop OPO to REC flights through the day: schedules, estimates, gate pushes and actual departures. The verdict above comes from operated flights, so it reflects what this route does rather than what the timetable promises.

OPO to REC questions
Is OPO–REC running on time right now?
Mostly on schedule. The departure side at OPO is the weaker end, route health score 74/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from OPO to REC?
Great-circle distance is 6,108 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 461–554 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does OPO–REC fly?
AZUL LINHAS AEREAS runs the route with about 2 flights a week (sun, thu). 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 OPO and arrival-side delay at REC, 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.
