SAW to BSZ questions
Is SAW–BSZ running on time right now?
Smooth skies ahead. The departure side at SAW is the weaker end, route health score 83/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
Morning or evening flight on SAW–BSZ?
Operators schedule evening departures around 19:05 from SAW. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the BSZ delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.
How often does SAW–BSZ fly?
2 carriers operate this route, around 18 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 SAW and arrival-side delay at BSZ, 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.
