POM to SYD questions
Is POM–SYD running on time right now?
High disruption likely. Both endpoints currently score the same, route health score 29/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from POM to SYD?
Great-circle distance is 2,754 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 224–266 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does POM–SYD fly?
2 carriers operate this route, around 5 flights a week between them. Compare carrier days and times in the airline list above.
What does the route health score measure?
A blend of departure-side delay at POM and arrival-side delay at SYD, 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.
