MAN to MAD questions
Is MAN–MAD running on time right now?
Some delays possible. The departure side at MAN is the weaker end, route health score 63/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from MAN to MAD?
Great-circle distance is 1,436 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 131–153 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does MAN–MAD fly?
8 carriers operate this route, around 27 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 MAD, 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.
