RUH to CNN questions

How long is the flight from RUH to CNN?

Great-circle distance is 3,360 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 267–318 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does RUH–CNN fly?

Air India Express runs the route with about 3 flights a week (sun, mon, thu). 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 RUH and arrival-side delay at CNN, 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.
