Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s MQ 3388, 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 3388 earns a B. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 7 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs an hour and a half. That rests on 254 flights, with a median arrival 12 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, MQ 3388's record is 7 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 71 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 254 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 12 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 3388 flies

MQ 3388 flies AMA to DFW without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 12:30, used on 48 of 254 flights, with 19:06 (41 flights) and 12:23 (38 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 12:30 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and MQ 3388 runs 6 points better at 84.7%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

MQ 3388 quarter by quarter

MQ 3388 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 90.8% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 70.5%, a swing of 20 points on roughly 64 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 202559 flights86.2%
Oct–Dec 202577 flights90.8%
Jan–Mar 202673 flights85.7%
Apr–Jun 202645 flights70.5%

Scale runs 60% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, MQ 3388 ranged from 78.9% on Sunday to 90.3% on Wednesday. With about 36 flights behind each day, a spread of 11 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why MQ 3388 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 75% of the 3,508 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.

Security
1%

75% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 3,508 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 40 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 3,508 delay minutes reported on MQ 3388.

Cancellations sit at 1.97% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.39%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

5.6% 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 an hour and a half, which a normal layover absorbs.

The same number turns up on six other city pairs in the data, including DFW to AMA (192), ALB to ORD (44) and BOS to EYW (8), but none flew often enough under MQ 3388 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to AMA to DFW only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 254 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 3388

For a booking, read MQ 3388 as 84.7% on time with 1.97% cancelled over 254 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
