PSA Airlines at Dallas-Fort Worth carries a cancellation problem, not just a delay problem: 4.3% of scheduled flights never operate, against 1.9% nationally. Of the ones that do fly, close to three flights in four arrive on time, worth a C− overall. The punctuality figure counts only flights that actually departed, so it flatters an operation that cancels this often. That rests on 22,290 flights, of which Envoy Air flew 64,201 at 83.6% on time.
Measured against the airport rather than the country, PSA Airlines runs 2 points ahead of the 72.8% 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.

Against the competition
Every carrier at DFW, ranked
The choice of carrier is not cosmetic here. Envoy Air arrives on time 83.6% of the time; American Airlines manages 66.7%. Sample sizes sit next to every figure, because a two-point gap across 164,984 flights means less than a ten-point one.

PSA Airlines cancels 4.3% 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 PSA Airlines flies from DFW
PSA Airlines 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 15 points, against 17 points between the best and worst carrier.
- 5am–8am802 flights81.4%
- 8am–11am6,405 flights82.8%
- 11am–2pm2,856 flights75.0%

Scale runs 60% to 90%.
Book the morning departure. Flights leaving between 8am–11am arrive on time 82.8% of the time, against 68.2% for the overnight window. That is 15 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 6,405 flights scheduled in it.
Across the year
Seasonal pattern
June is the worst month at 66.2% on time, 17 points below October, the best at 83.5%. 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. March was the busiest month here, with 2,323 flights.
Delay causes
What holds this operation up
- 52%Late-arriving aircraft
- 29%Carrier
- 11%National Airspace System
- 8%Extreme weather
- 0%Security
52% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 477,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 6 to one. The split is drawn from 476,741 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations run at 4.25%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 25 cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.
11.9% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
22,290 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 delay figures matter less here than the 4.25% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you an hour and a half; a cancelled flight costs you the day. Book the 8am–11am departure so there is still a schedule behind you if it goes wrong, and treat a same-day connection as optimistic. 21,283 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
Common questions
PSA Airlines at DFW
How often is PSA Airlines at DFW delayed?
About one flight in four arrives at least 15 minutes late, which is the Department of Transportation's definition of a delayed arrival. That works out to 25.3% of the 22,290 flights in this analysis, against 22.7% nationally. Delayed flights are late by an hour and a half on average.
Which airline is most reliable on PSA Airlines at DFW?
Envoy Air leads at 83.6% on time across 64,201 flights. American Airlines is at the other end on 66.7%, a gap of 17 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 PSA Airlines at DFW?
The 8am–11am departure window is the strongest at 82.8% on time. The 8pm–5am window is the weakest at 68.2%, 15 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 PSA Airlines at DFW?
June is the weakest month at 66.2% on time, compared with 83.5% in October. Across the year that is 17 points between the best and worst months. Moving flexible dates out of that month is one of the few things that reliably helps.
