SLC to ELY questions
Is SLC–ELY running on time right now?
Smooth skies ahead. The departure side at SLC is the weaker end, route health score 92/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from SLC to ELY?
Great-circle distance is 295 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 51–55 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does SLC–ELY fly?
Alpine Air Express runs the route with about 5 flights a week (mon–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 SLC and arrival-side delay at ELY, 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.
