BUD to OTP questions
Is BUD–OTP running on time right now?
Smooth skies ahead. The departure side at BUD is the weaker end, route health score 82/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from BUD to OTP?
Great-circle distance is 615 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 73–83 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does BUD–OTP fly?
TAROM runs the route with about 8 flights a week (sun, mon, tue, wed, thu, fri). 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 BUD and arrival-side delay at OTP, 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.
