Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s MQ 3404, 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 3404 earns an A. Close to nine flights in ten arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 10 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs about an hour. That rests on 278 flights, with a median arrival 13 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, MQ 3404's record is 10 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 102 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 278 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 13 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 3404 flies

MQ 3404 flies BMI to DFW without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 15:51, used on 63 of 278 flights, with 15:45 (54 flights) and 16:03 (36 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 15:51 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and MQ 3404 runs 15 points better at 87.8%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Against the route

MQ 3404 next to BMI to DFW

Across the year

MQ 3404 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter MQ 3404 held fairly steady: 89.8% in Jul–Sep 2025, 86.5% in Oct–Dec 2025 and 88.6% in Jan–Mar 2026. A spread of 3 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

  • Jul–Sep 202592 flights89.8%
  • Oct–Dec 202591 flights86.5%

By weekday, MQ 3404 did best on Tuesday at 100.0% on time and worst on Monday at 72.5%. Each day rests on about 40 flights, so a gap of 28 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why MQ 3404 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 59% of the 2,154 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.

  • Late-arriving aircraft
    59%
  • Extreme weather
    24%
  • National Airspace System
    12%
  • Carrier
    5%

Extreme weather accounts for 24% 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 3.9 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 2,154 delay minutes reported on MQ 3404.

Cancellations sit at 2.16% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.72%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.7% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.

The 690 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.

The same number turns up on four other city pairs in the data, including DFW to BMI (182), FAR to ORD (37) and LIT to CLT (24), but none flew often enough under MQ 3404 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to BMI to DFW only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 278 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 3404

For a booking, read MQ 3404 as 87.8% on time with 2.16% cancelled over 278 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
