FCO to ALC questions
Is FCO–ALC running on time right now?
Mostly on schedule. The departure side at FCO is the weaker end, route health score 74/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from FCO to ALC?
Great-circle distance is 1,156 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 112–129 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does FCO–ALC fly?
2 carriers operate this route, around 16 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 FCO and arrival-side delay at ALC, 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.
