SSH to CAI questions
Morning or evening flight on SSH–CAI?
Operators schedule morning departures around 05:00 and evening departures around 18:15 from SSH. Earlier flights typically land before destination-airport delays accumulate later in the day; check the CAI delay card to confirm conditions when you'd arrive.
How long is the flight from SSH to CAI?
Great-circle distance is 376 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 57–62 min gate-to-gate on this route.
How often does SSH–CAI fly?
3 carriers operate this route, around 40 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 SSH and arrival-side delay at CAI, 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.
