CLT to MAD questions

Is CLT–MAD running on time right now?

Mostly on schedule. The departure side at CLT is the weaker end, route health score 77/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.

How long is the flight from CLT to MAD?

Great-circle distance is 6,597 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 496–595 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does CLT–MAD fly?

4 carriers operate this route, around 28 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 CLT and arrival-side delay at MAD, 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.
