Mostly on schedule. The departure side at DXB is the weaker end, route health score 75/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
Great-circle distance is 12,044 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 880–1062 min gate-to-gate on this route.
Emirates runs the route with about 21 flights a week (daily). Since one carrier owns the route, a single disruption tends to ripple through the day.
A blend of departure-side delay at DXB and arrival-side delay at SYD, 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.
