MQ 3450 lands a B, 4 points better than the national rate of 77.3%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by about 50 minutes on average. That rests on 315 flights, with a median arrival 4 minutes early.

These figures cover 315 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 4 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.

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.

Scale runs 60% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, MQ 3450 did best on Tuesday at 93.2% on time and worst on Saturday at 72.1%. Each day rests on about 45 flights, so a gap of 21 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Arrival by arrival
How late MQ 3450 runs when it is late
MQ 3450 often beats the schedule: 78 of 308 completed flights, 25%, arrived 15 minutes or more early. The 59 late arrivals split 27 under half an hour, 14 between 30 and 60 minutes, and 18 an hour or more.

Share of 308 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
A late pushback is often recovered here: of 58 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, 21 still arrived on time. In the other direction, 22 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at FAR.
The worst days
Worst days for MQ 3450
The latest arrival of the period was on 9 June 2026, 3 hours 23 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). Four of the five worst days fell in June 2026.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 9 June 2026 | 3 hours 23 minutes | Carrier |
| 13 June 2026 | 3 hours 21 minutes | Carrier |
| 19 June 2026 | 2 hours 28 minutes | National Airspace System |
| 14 June 2026 | 1 hour 59 minutes | Carrier |
| 13 July 2026 | 1 hour 46 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
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 2,974 reported delay minutes.
- 35%Late-arriving aircraft
- 32%National Airspace System
- 26%Carrier
- 6%Extreme weather
- 1%Security
35% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 2,974 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 6 to one. The split is drawn from 2,974 delay minutes reported on MQ 3450.
Cancellations sit at 1.90% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.32%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
5.8% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about 50 minutes, 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.
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, read MQ 3450 as 80.8% on time with 1.90% cancelled over 315 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
