Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s MQ 3468, 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 3468 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 269 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, MQ 3468's record is 10 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 103 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 269 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 8 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 3468 flies

MQ 3468 flies DFW to ABI without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 12:22, used on 35 of 269 flights, with 12:52 (35 flights) and 12:23 (33 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 12:22 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and MQ 3468 runs 9 points better at 87.9%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

MQ 3468 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter MQ 3468 held fairly steady: 86.8% in Jul–Sep 2025, 84.8% in Oct–Dec 2025 and 94.7% in Jan–Mar 2026. A spread of 10 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

By weekday, MQ 3468 did best on Thursday at 94.9% on time and worst on Monday at 81.1%. Each day rests on about 38 flights, so a gap of 14 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why MQ 3468 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 60% of the 1,896 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.

60%
Carrier
22%
National Airspace System
14%
Extreme weather
4%

60% 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 1,896 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 13 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 1,896 delay minutes reported on MQ 3468.

Cancellations sit at 1.49% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.0% 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.

MQ 3468 is not only a DFW to ABI flight. It also flew ABI to DFW (268 flights, 84.8% on time) often enough to be scored on its own. Airlines attach one number to several legs of an aircraft's day, and each leg keeps its own record here, so check which city pair is on your booking before reading a rate.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 269 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.
