Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s MQ 3450, 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 3450 lands a B, level with the national rate of 77.6%. Roughly one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by about an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 315 flights, with a median arrival 3 minutes early.

These figures cover 315 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 3 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 3450 flies

MQ 3450 flies DFW to FAR without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 19:23, used on 69 of 315 flights, with 19:16 (54 flights) and 19:20 (50 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Scale runs 0% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.

A 19:23 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and MQ 3450 runs 10 points better at 78.2%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Against the route

MQ 3450 next to DFW to FAR

Every carrier on DFW to FAR combined arrived on time 84.1% of the time across 1,085 flights, so MQ 3450 is 6 points behind it. Across its whole network Envoy Air managed 80.2%, which this flight trails by 2 points.

Across the year

MQ 3450 quarter by quarter

MQ 3450 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 85.1% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 66.7%, a swing of 18 points on roughly 79 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.

Jan–Mar 202690 flights83.7%

Scale runs 60% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, MQ 3450 did best on Tuesday at 88.6% on time and worst on Sunday at 68.2%. Each day rests on about 45 flights, so a gap of 20 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why MQ 3450 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 3,957 reported delay minutes.

Late-arriving aircraft
35%
National Airspace System
30%
Carrier
19%
Extreme weather
17%

Extreme weather accounts for 17% 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 2.7 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 3,957 delay minutes reported on MQ 3450.

Cancellations sit at 1.90% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.63%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

7.2% 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 about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

The 967 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 three other city pairs in the data, including MKE to ORD (25), ORD to MKE (25) and OKC to DFW (1), but none flew often enough under MQ 3450 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DFW to FAR only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 315 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 3450

For a booking, MQ 3450 is one of the weaker ways to fly DFW to FAR: 6 points below the route as a whole. If the schedule allows, compare it with the other departures listed on the route page before settling on this one.
