XIY to KCA questions
Morning or evening flight on XIY–KCA?
Operators schedule morning departures around 11:45 from XIY. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the KCA delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.
How long is the flight from XIY to KCA?
Great-circle distance is 2,393 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 199–235 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does XIY–KCA fly?
China Eastern Airlines runs the route with about 6 flights a week (sun, mon, tue, thu, fri, 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 KCA, 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.
