ORF to TYS questions
Is ORF–TYS running on time right now?
Mostly on schedule. The departure side at ORF is the weaker end, route health score 78/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from ORF to TYS?
Great-circle distance is 708 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 80–91 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does ORF–TYS fly?
American Airlines runs the route with about 1 flight a week (fri). 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 ORF and arrival-side delay at TYS, 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.
