RTM to ALC questions

Is RTM–ALC running on time right now?

Smooth skies ahead. The arrival side at ALC is the weaker end, route health score 82/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.

How long is the flight from RTM to ALC?

Great-circle distance is 1,569 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 141–164 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does RTM–ALC fly?

Transavia runs the route with about 12 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 RTM and arrival-side delay at ALC, 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.
