To find the time needed to fly a route before you buy gates or aircraft, check using the Research Route feature which should be able to calculate it for you

I used this before, all I get is the aircraft capable
There is no detail for the flight time or block time

I was looking for a formula that I can use on an as and when required basis

I then discovered the link to the Updated block time in the FAQ, rather than just the plain calculation,
Research Route page
However it is dead

The Research Route menu adds a little work on a route by route basis

I have made numerous searches, but nothing really answered the problem to the calculation I am trying to solve

From
https://wiki.airlinemogul.com/index.php/FAQ#How_can_you_calculate_block_time.3F

Airbus A320-200
Speed 469 (I assume nm/p/h)
Range 3504 nm
Turnaround time 0.72 (I assume is 0h43m)

Route
1071nm

Flight time calculates as route distance divided by speed
1071 / 469 => 2.28 hours or 2h17m

Block time calculation
"A one way flight can be calculated by dividing the flight length by the aircraft speed (e.g. 1000 miles / 500 miles per hour = 2 hours), then you have to add the turnaround time"

2.28 + 0.72 = 3.00 (3hr00m)

However AM has 3.61, a difference of 0.61

Other routes
220nm the difference is 0.67
1128nm the difference is 0.60
1545nm the difference is 0.64

What did I miss?
