SYD to MNL questions

Is SYD–MNL running on time right now?

Mostly on schedule. Both endpoints currently score the same, route health score 75/100. The airports section above carries the live status and delay window at both ends.

How long is the flight from SYD to MNL?

Great-circle distance is 6,263 km. With typical jet cruise speed plus taxi, climb and descent, expect roughly 472–567 min gate-to-gate on this route.

How often does SYD–MNL fly?

3 carriers operate this route, around 21 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 SYD and arrival-side delay at MNL, 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.
