Period: July 2025 to June 2026

Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s MQ 3572, 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 3572 sits in the middle of the pack with a C+. Close to three flights in four arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 4 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land close to two hours behind schedule. That rests on 346 flights, with a median arrival 5 minutes early.

The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so MQ 3572 runs 4 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 43 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 346 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 12.5% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.

Schedule

When MQ 3572 flies

MQ 3572 flies CMH to ORD without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 08:20, used on 87 of 346 flights, with 08:21 (50 flights) and 08:25 (40 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 08:20 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and MQ 3572 runs 11 points worse at 73.3%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year

MQ 3572 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter MQ 3572 held fairly steady: 77.0% in Jul–Sep 2025, 68.3% in Oct–Dec 2025, 70.9% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 76.7% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 9 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

Jul–Sep 202587 flights77.0%
Oct–Dec 202583 flights68.3%
Jan–Mar 202686 flights70.9%

Scale runs 60% to 80%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, MQ 3572 did best on Thursday at 82.4% on time and worst on Monday at 59.6%. Each day rests on about 49 flights, so a gap of 23 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why MQ 3572 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 10,000 reported delay minutes.

Late-arriving aircraft
40%
Carrier
30%
National Airspace System
25%
Extreme weather
5%

40% 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 10,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 7 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 10,277 delay minutes reported on MQ 3572.

Cancellations are rare at 0.29%, below the national 1.81% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 12.5% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.

Every one of the 346 flights under MQ 3572 in the data flew CMH to ORD. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 346 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 3572

For a booking, MQ 3572 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 12.5% of its completed flights arrived an hour or more late, which a short layover will not absorb. If the onward flight is on a separate ticket, the risk sits with you.
