No public record scores Venice Marco Polo to Newark Liberty 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 517 flights between the two airports in the twelve months to June 2026, about five departures a week in each direction, flown by United. EUROCONTROL's year-to-date figure has 69.2% of all departures from Venice Marco Polo leaving within 15 minutes of schedule and 77.6% of arrivals landing within 15 minutes. At the other end, 77.4% of EWR'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, Venice Marco Polo ranks 16th 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 0.2 minutes of air traffic flow management delay per arriving flight to Venice Marco Polo 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 EWR ran a little over an hour late on average over the last twelve months, and 3.44% of its scheduled flights were cancelled.

Carrier by carrier

Who flies VCE to EWR

United Airlines is the only carrier the DOT report shows on VCE to EWR, with 517 flights and an average of 195 passengers aboard each. A single-carrier route gives a delayed passenger no same-day alternative on the same ticket, which is worth knowing before booking a tight onward connection.

Across the year

How often VCE to EWR flies through the year

The DOT's international report puts 62 flights on the pair in October 2025, the busiest month of the window, and 0 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 Newark Liberty International

Newark Liberty International is scored on this site from the DOT's domestic data: 77.4% of its 122,267 domestic departures arrived on time over the last twelve months, with delayed flights running a little over an hour late, and 3.44% 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 EWR reaches a flight from VCE 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 VCE to EWR

Every flight that departs Venice Marco Polo falls under Regulation (EC) 261/2004, whichever airline flies it and wherever it lands. If it arrives at Newark Liberty 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 EWR is covered only when the carrier is EU based. The sector is about 4,158 miles, 6,690 km, which puts it in the top distance band.

What to do with this

Booking VCE to EWR

There is no grade to give VCE to EWR without a route record, and this site does not invent one. What the three sources support: about five departures a week in each direction, a single carrier, a departure airport that gets 69% of its departures away on time and an arrival airport that runs 77% on time domestically. Leave two hours for any onward connection at EWR; immigration comes before the connecting flight.

Common questions

VCE to EWR questions

How often are VCE to EWR 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. The nearest measurements are the departure airport's EUROCONTROL punctuality (69.2% of departures within 15 minutes this year) and EWR's domestic record in the DOT data (77.4% on time).

Which airlines fly VCE to EWR?

United Airlines. United Airlines accounted for 100% of the 517 flights the DOT counted on the pair.

Can I claim compensation for a delayed VCE to EWR 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 Venice Marco Polo 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 EWR is covered only on an EU carrier.

How many flights a day are there from VCE to EWR?

About five departures a week in each direction: the DOT counted 517 flights in both directions over twelve months, peaking at 62 in October 2025 and falling to 0 in February 2026.

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