RIX to SSH questions
Is RIX–SSH running on time right now?
Smooth skies ahead. The departure side at RIX is the weaker end, route health score 86/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from RIX to SSH?
Great-circle distance is 3,322 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 264–315 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does RIX–SSH fly?
3 carriers operate this route, around 12 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 RIX and arrival-side delay at SSH, 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.
