MAN to BUD questions
Is MAN–BUD running on time right now?
Significant delay risk. The departure side at MAN is the weaker end, route health score 42/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from MAN to BUD?
Great-circle distance is 1,654 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 147–172 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does MAN–BUD fly?
3 carriers operate this route, around 12 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 MAN and arrival-side delay at BUD, 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.
