SZX to ASB questions

Is SZX–ASB running on time right now?

Some delays possible. The departure side at SZX is the weaker end, route health score 64/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.

How long is the flight from SZX to ASB?

Great-circle distance is 5,504 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 419–502 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does SZX–ASB fly?

Turkmenistan Airlines runs the route with about 2 flights a week (sun, wed). 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 SZX and arrival-side delay at ASB, 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.
