PVG to ATH questions

Is PVG–ATH running on time right now?

Mostly on schedule. The arrival side at ATH is the weaker end, route health score 79/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.

How long is the flight from PVG to ATH?

Great-circle distance is 8,558 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 634–764 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does PVG–ATH fly?

吉祥航空公司 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 PVG and arrival-side delay at ATH, 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.
