XIY to CIT questions

How long is the flight from XIY to CIT?

Great-circle distance is 3,500 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 277–330 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does XIY–CIT fly?

SCAT Airlines runs the route with about 2 flights a week (mon, 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 XIY and arrival-side delay at CIT, 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.
