No public record scores Paris Charles de Gaulle to Miami 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 1,419 flights between the two airports in the twelve months to June 2026, about two departures a day in each direction, flown by Air France and American. 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, 74.2% of MIA'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 MIA ran a little over an hour late on average over the last twelve months, and 1.64% of its scheduled flights were cancelled.

Carrier by carrier

Who flies CDG to MIA

Air France flew 87% of the 1,419 flights between CDG and MIA in the DOT's count, with American Airlines on 186. Loads averaged 257 passengers a flight, which on this route means wide-body aircraft nearly full.

DOT international report, July 2025 to June 2026; flights in both directions together. No delay figures exist for this pair in any public source.

Across the year

How often CDG to MIA flies through the year

The DOT's international report puts 160 flights on the pair in March 2026, the busiest month of the window, and 59 in September 2025, 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 Miami International

Miami International is scored on this site from the DOT's domestic data: 74.2% of its 111,132 domestic departures arrived on time over the last twelve months, with delayed flights running a little over an hour late, and 1.64% 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 MIA 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 MIA

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 Miami 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 MIA is covered only when the carrier is EU based. The sector is about 4,580 miles, 7,369 km, which puts it in the top distance band.

What to do with this

Booking CDG to MIA

There is no grade to give CDG to MIA without a route record, and this site does not invent one. What the three sources support: about two departures 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 74% on time domestically. Leave two hours for any onward connection at MIA; immigration comes before the connecting flight.

Common questions

CDG to MIA questions

How often are CDG to MIA flights delayed?

No public dataset records delays for this route flight by flight: the US on-time database is domestic only and only the UK publishes route-level punctuality in Europe.

Which airlines fly CDG to MIA?

Air France and American Airlines, in order of flights operated between July 2025 and June 2026. Air France accounted for 87% of the 1,419 flights the DOT counted on the pair.

Can I claim compensation for a delayed CDG to MIA flight?

Yes, if the flight arrived three hours or more late or was cancelled at short notice for a reason within the airline's control: departures from Paris Charles de Gaulle are covered by EC 261/2004 whichever airline operates them. The fixed amount for a sector of this length is €600 a passenger, €300 if the airline got you there under four hours late. The return from MIA is covered only on an EU carrier.

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