How the Gisborne to Wellington route actually runs
Pro Flight Search records official board updates for nonstop GIS to WLG flights through the day: schedules, estimates, gate pushes and actual departures. The verdict above comes from operated flights, so it reflects what this route does rather than what the timetable promises.

GIS to WLG questions
How long is the flight from GIS to WLG?
Great-circle distance is 401 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 58–64 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does GIS–WLG fly?
Air New Zealand runs the route with about 13 flights a week (daily). 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 GIS and arrival-side delay at WLG, 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.
