Period: July 2025 to June 2026

Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s MQ 3537, 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 3537 earns a B−. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 7 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs a little over an hour. That rests on 286 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, MQ 3537's record is 7 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 68 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 286 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 3537 flies

MQ 3537 flies DFW to FSM without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 22:43, used on 53 of 286 flights, with 22:49 (41 flights) and 22:40 (37 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Departs 22:4353 flights18.5%
Departs 22:4941 flights14.3%

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 22:43 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and MQ 3537 runs 14 points better at 84.4%. 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 3537 next to DFW to FSM

Every carrier on DFW to FSM combined arrived on time 83.4% of the time across 1,185 flights, so MQ 3537 is about level with it. Across its whole network Envoy Air managed 80.2%, which this flight beats by 4 points.

Across the year

MQ 3537 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter MQ 3537 held fairly steady: 82.8% in Jul–Sep 2025, 88.1% in Oct–Dec 2025, 85.7% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 80.0% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 8 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

Jul–Sep 202590 flights82.8%
Oct–Dec 202561 flights88.1%
Jan–Mar 202688 flights85.7%
Apr–Jun 202647 flights80.0%

Scale runs 70% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, MQ 3537 did best on Wednesday at 92.1% on time and worst on Sunday at 72.5%. Each day rests on about 41 flights, so a gap of 20 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why MQ 3537 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 3,110 reported delay minutes.

Extreme weather
37%
Late-arriving aircraft
31%
Carrier
20%
National Airspace System
11%

Extreme weather accounts for 37% 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 6.0 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 3,110 delay minutes reported on MQ 3537.

Cancellations run at 3.85%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about one flight in 25 cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

7.3% 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 a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

The same number turns up on three other city pairs in the data, including DFW to COU (44), COU to DFW (44) and AMA to DFW (27), but none flew often enough under MQ 3537 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DFW to FSM only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 286 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 3537

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on MQ 3537: 3.85% of its 286 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs a little over an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
