How long is the flight from RUH to JFK?

Great-circle distance is 10,480 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 770–928 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does RUH–JFK fly?

Saudi Arabian runs the route with about 3 flights a week (tue, thu, 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 RUH and arrival-side delay at JFK, 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.
