Methodology (every figure reproducible)

  • Inputs: src/data/travel/airports.json (97 airports with lat/lng) + the 14 hub list defined in src/lib/airportData.ts (FLIGHT_HUBS_IATA).
  • Distance: haversine formula on a 6371 km-radius earth (src/lib/geo.ts — haversineKm), rounded to the nearest km.
  • Duration: estimateFlightMinutes = (km ÷ 850 km/h) × 60 + a fixed 35-minute taxi/climb allowance. Block-time estimate only — no stops, no delays.
  • Ranking: descending by distance. Calculator links (flight-time-{hub}-to-{iata}) render only when actually present in catalog/generated/travel.json.
