DUR to SHO questions

Is DUR–SHO running on time right now?

Smooth skies ahead. The departure side at DUR is the weaker end, route health score 92/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.

How long is the flight from DUR to SHO?

Great-circle distance is 12,589 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 919–1109 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does DUR–SHO fly?

ROYAL SWAZI NATIONAL AIRWAYS CORPORATION t/a SWAZI AIRWAYS runs the route with about 2 flights a week (wed, 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 DUR and arrival-side delay at SHO, 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.
