How the Recife to Salvador route actually runs
Pro Flight Search records official board updates for nonstop REC to SSA 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.

REC to SSA questions
How long is the flight from REC to SSA?
Great-circle distance is 649 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 76–86 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does REC–SSA fly?
Azul runs the route with about 6 flights a week (mon, tue, wed, thu, fri, 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 REC and arrival-side delay at SSA, 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.
