Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s MQ 3386, check with Envoy Air. Envoy Air flies under contract for larger airlines, so a ticket for this flight may show a different airline code and number.
MQ 3386 earns an A+. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 8 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs close to two hours. That rests on 365 flights, with a median arrival 5 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, MQ 3386's record is 8 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 84 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 365 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 5 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.
Schedule
When MQ 3386 flies
MQ 3386 flies PNS to MIA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 06:00, used on 171 of 365 flights, with 06:30 (76 flights) and 06:05 (64 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 06:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and MQ 3386 runs 3 points worse at 86.0%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.
Against the route
MQ 3386 next to PNS to MIA

Across the year
MQ 3386 quarter by quarter
MQ 3386 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 92.3% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 80.9%, a swing of 11 points on roughly 91 flights a quarter. The twelve-month rate averages over that, so if you are flying in a weak quarter the quarter's own figure is the better guide.
- Jul–Sep 202592 flights83.7%
- Oct–Dec 202592 flights86.8%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights80.9%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights92.3%
Scale runs 70% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, MQ 3386 ranged from 80.8% on Sunday to 90.0% on Monday. With about 52 flights behind each day, a spread of 9 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.
Delay causes
Why MQ 3386 runs late
Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 5,281 reported delay minutes.
- 39%Carrier
- 23%Extreme weather
- 20%National Airspace System
- 17%Late-arriving aircraft
Extreme weather accounts for 23% 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 quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 3.7 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 5,281 delay minutes reported on MQ 3386.
Cancellations are rare at 0.55%, below the national 1.81% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
5.2% 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 last close to two hours, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 530 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.
Every one of the 365 flights under MQ 3386 in the data flew PNS to MIA. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 365 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor but not enough to pin the rate down tightly, and a single bad week moves it by more than a point. Treat the grade as a rough reading.
What to do with this
Booking MQ 3386
For a booking, MQ 3386 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 86.0% on time and 0.55% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
