How the Sofia to Edinburgh route actually runs
Pro Flight Search records official board updates for nonstop SOF to EDI flights through the day: schedules, estimates, gate pushes and actual departures. The verdict above comes from operated flights, so it reflects what this route does rather than what the timetable promises.

SOF to EDI questions
Is SOF–EDI running on time right now?
Smooth skies ahead. The arrival side at EDI is the weaker end, route health score 89/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.
How long is the flight from SOF to EDI?
Great-circle distance is 2,411 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 200–237 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does SOF–EDI fly?
Ryanair runs the route with about 4 flights a week (mon, tue, fri, sat). 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 SOF and arrival-side delay at EDI, 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.
