Smooth skies ahead. The departure side at SNA is the weaker end, route health score 84/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from SNA to VNY?
Great-circle distance is 83 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 36–37 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does SNA–VNY fly?
VECA runs the route with about 1 flight a week (wed). 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 SNA and arrival-side delay at VNY, 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.
