Carrier performance at one airport

Envoy Air at Dallas/Fort Worth International

Departures: 63,918
Period: July 2025 to June 2026
Routes: 25
Rank here: #1 of 9

Envoy Air at Dallas-Fort Worth lands a B, 5 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in six arrive 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by about an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 63,918 flights, of which Envoy Air flew 63,918 at 82.1% on time.

Measured against the airport rather than the country, Envoy Air runs 10 points ahead of the 72.0% weighted average across all carriers at DFW. That is the comparison worth making: every operator here works the same runways, the same airspace and the same weather.

Rank here

Of 9 carriers clearing the floor at DFW

These figures cover 64,000 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 7 minutes early, which is the part an average hides: most flights here are fine, and the on-time rate is decided by a tail of badly late ones. On-time means under 15 minutes late, the DOT's own threshold.

Against the competition

Every carrier at DFW, ranked

The choice of carrier is not cosmetic here. Envoy Air arrives on time 82.1% of the time; American Airlines manages 65.9%. Sample sizes sit next to every figure, because a two-point gap across 164,581 flights means less than a ten-point one.

PSA Airlines cancels 4.4% of what it schedules here, the highest in the table. A cancelled flight never appears in an on-time rate, so read that column alongside the punctuality one rather than after it.

Route by route

Where Envoy Air flies from DFW

Envoy Air operates 25 routes out of DFW with enough volume to report. Route records inside one carrier at one airport still spread widely, because a short shuttle and a transcontinental have very different exposure to a late inbound.

Departure window

Best time of day for this operation

Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 12 points, against 16 points between the best and worst carrier. Each bar is the on-time rate for flights scheduled inside that window.

5am–8am3,183 flights87.9%
8am–11am14,670 flights88.6%

2pm–5pm12,552 flights79.1%
5pm–8pm10,351 flights76.7%
8pm–5am12,575 flights77.9%

Scale runs 70% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

Book the morning departure. Flights leaving between 8am–11am arrive on time 88.6% of the time, against 76.7% for the evening window. That is 12 points of difference for no extra money, and it comes from the same aircraft having had no earlier flight to fall behind on. The 8am–11am window is the busiest, with 14,670 flights scheduled in it.

Across the year

Seasonal pattern

Darker means more delays. Figures are on-time percentages.February best, June worst

June is the worst month at 75.5% on time, 16 points below February, the best at 91.3%. Summer afternoon convection and peak-season schedules land on the same weeks every year, so this is a pattern you can book around rather than a run of bad luck. June was the busiest month here, with 6,593 flights.

Extreme weather accounts for 13% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the monthly strip above is the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 2.2 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 633,008 reported delay minutes.

Cancellations sit at 2.33% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.24%.

5.3% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route are the about an hour kind, which a normal layover absorbs.

63,918 flights sit behind these numbers, which is a large enough sample that the headline rate is not moving on noise. Where a sub-group falls below 30 flights the site shows a dash instead of a percentage.

Put together: the calendar is the biggest lever here, not the carrier or the hour. February runs 91.3% on time and June 75.5%, a swing of 16 points. If the dates move at all, move them out of June before you think about anything else. 62,275 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.

Common questions

Envoy Air at DFW

How often is Envoy Air at DFW delayed?

About one flight in six arrive at least 15 minutes late, which is the Department of Transportation's definition of a delayed arrival. That works out to 17.9% of the 63,918 flights in this analysis, against 22.4% nationally. Delayed flights are late by about an hour on average.

Which airline is most reliable on Envoy Air at DFW?

Envoy Air leads at 82.1% on time across 63,918 flights. American Airlines is at the other end on 65.9%, a gap of 16 points. Sample size matters as much as the percentage: a rate built from a few hundred flights moves around far more than one built from ten thousand.

What time of day has the fewest delays on Envoy Air at DFW?

The 8am–11am departure window is the strongest at 88.6% on time. The 5pm–8pm window is the weakest at 76.7%, 12 points behind. Later departures inherit delays from earlier flights the same aircraft has already flown, which is why the curve slopes the way it does.

How bad are June delays on Envoy Air at DFW?

June is the weakest month at 75.5% on time, compared with 91.3% in February. Across the year that is 16 points between the best and worst months. Moving flexible dates out of that month is one of the few things that reliably helps.
