Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s MQ 3502, 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 3502 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 45 minutes. That rests on 252 flights, with a median arrival 13 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, MQ 3502's record is 10 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 95 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 252 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 3502 flies

MQ 3502 flies DFW to LRD without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 12:22, used on 86 of 252 flights, with 12:19 (58 flights) and 12:20 (43 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 3502 runs 8 points better at 87.1%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

MQ 3502 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter MQ 3502 held fairly steady: 87.5% in Jul–Sep 2025, 86.7% in Oct–Dec 2025 and 87.5% in Jan–Mar 2026. A spread of about a point is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

By weekday, MQ 3502 did best on Tuesday at 97.2% on time and worst on Saturday at 74.3%. Each day rests on about 36 flights, so a gap of 23 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why MQ 3502 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 48% of the 1,441 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.

48%
Carrier
30%
National Airspace System
19%
Extreme weather
3%

48% 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 1,441 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 15 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 1,441 delay minutes reported on MQ 3502.

Cancellations sit at 1.59% 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 3.2% 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 same number turns up on seven other city pairs in the data, including LRD to DFW (182), BWI to ORD (44) and ORD to BWI (44), but none flew often enough under MQ 3502 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DFW to LRD only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 252 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 3502

For a booking, read MQ 3502 as 87.1% on time with 1.59% cancelled over 252 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
