How the Bilbao to Edinburgh route actually runs
Pro Flight Search records official board updates for nonstop BIO to EDI flights through the day: schedules, estimates, gate pushes and actual departures. The verdict above comes from operated flights, so it reflects what this route does rather than what the timetable promises.

BIO to EDI questions
Is BIO–EDI running on time right now?
Smooth skies ahead. The departure side at BIO is the weaker end, route health score 93/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from BIO to EDI?
Great-circle distance is 1,407 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 129–151 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does BIO–EDI fly?
British Airways runs the route with about 2 flights a week (wed, 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 BIO and arrival-side delay at EDI, 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.
