MAA to CMB questions

Morning or evening flight on MAA–CMB?

Operators schedule morning departures around 01:20 and evening departures around 19:40 from MAA. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the CMB delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.

How long is the flight from MAA to CMB?

Great-circle distance is 647 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 76–85 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does MAA–CMB fly?

2 carriers operate this route, around 48 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 MAA and arrival-side delay at CMB, 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.
