Is BLR–RUH running on time right now?
Smooth skies ahead. Both endpoints currently score the same, route health score 100/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from BLR to RUH?
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 BLR–RUH fly?
2 carriers operate this route, around 9 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 BLR and arrival-side delay at RUH, 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.
