No public record scores Paris Charles de Gaulle to Dallas/Fort Worth International flight by flight. The US Department of Transportation's on-time database covers domestic flights only, and in Europe only the United Kingdom publishes punctuality by route, so what follows is built from the three measurements that do exist. The DOT's international report counts 1,260 flights between the two airports in the twelve months to June 2026, about one departure a day in each direction, flown by American and Air France. EUROCONTROL's year-to-date figure has 65.7% of all departures from Paris Charles de Gaulle leaving within 15 minutes of schedule and 78.2% of arrivals landing within 15 minutes. At the other end, 72.8% of DFW's domestic departures arrived on time in the DOT data, which says something about how the airport itself runs, not about this route.
On EUROCONTROL's year-to-date arrival punctuality, Paris Charles de Gaulle ranks 12th of the 41 European airports on this site with service to the United States. Bilbao leads that table at 84.3% and Manchester closes it at 65.7%. A long-haul departure inherits the airport's morning: an aircraft that arrived late from its previous sector, or a departure queue built up by weather, delays the transatlantic wave with everything else.

US DOT, last twelve months of domestic departures
Without a route-level record, the useful question is what the two airports do to a schedule. EUROCONTROL attributes 0.7 minutes of air traffic flow management delay per arriving flight to Paris Charles de Gaulle so far this year; that is delay imposed by the network to hold traffic on the ground elsewhere, not the airline's own. In the DOT data, a delayed domestic departure from DFW ran a little over an hour late on average over the last twelve months, and 2.61% of its scheduled flights were cancelled.
Carrier by carrier
Who flies CDG to DFW
American Airlines flew 57% of the 1,260 flights between CDG and DFW in the DOT's count, with Air France on 543. Loads averaged 240 passengers a flight, which on this route means wide-body aircraft nearly full.
| Airline | Flights | Share | Per month | Passengers / flight |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| American Airlines | 717 | 57% | 60 | 232 |
| Air France | 543 | 43% | 45 | 251 |

Across the year
How often CDG to DFW flies through the year
The DOT's international report puts 122 flights on the pair in July 2025, the busiest month of the window, and 81 in February 2026, the thinnest. A summer-to-winter swing of that size means the winter schedule is a different operation: fewer frequencies, so a cancellation leaves a longer wait for the next seat.

The arrival airport
Landing at Dallas/Fort Worth International
Dallas/Fort Worth International is scored on this site from the DOT's domestic data: 72.8% of its 312,771 domestic departures arrived on time over the last twelve months, with delayed flights running a little over an hour late, and 2.61% were cancelled. Those are domestic flights, not this route, but an arriving transatlantic flight shares the same runways, the same weather and the same ground delay programmes, so a bad day at DFW reaches a flight from CDG just as surely. The airport's own page has the hour-by-hour and month-by-month detail, and its live FAA status appears above when the FAA has something to say.

Your rights
EC 261/2004 on CDG to DFW
Every flight that departs Paris Charles de Gaulle falls under Regulation (EC) 261/2004, whichever airline flies it and wherever it lands. If it arrives at Dallas/Fort Worth International three hours or more late, or is cancelled with under 14 days' notice, and the cause was within the airline's control, each passenger is owed €600 (€300 if the airline got you there under four hours late), on top of rebooking and care. Weather, air traffic control restrictions and strikes outside the airline are the usual exemptions. The return flight from DFW is covered only when the carrier is EU based. The sector is about 4,936 miles, 7,942 km, which puts it in the top distance band.

What to do with this
Booking CDG to DFW
There is no grade to give CDG to DFW without a route record, and this site does not invent one. What the three sources support: about one departure a day in each direction, a choice of two carriers, a departure airport that gets 66% of its departures away on time and an arrival airport that runs 73% on time domestically. Leave two hours for any onward connection at DFW; immigration comes before the connecting flight.

France publishes no route-level punctuality, so this page cannot grade the route. The UK pages in this section can, because the CAA does.
