These figures cover 319 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 10.0% 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 3611 flies
MQ 3611 flies DFW to ABI without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 20:45, used on 53 of 319 flights, with 21:00 (42 flights) and 21:18 (35 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.
- Departs 20:4553 flights16.6%

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 20:45 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and MQ 3611 runs 5 points better at 75.9%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year
MQ 3611 quarter by quarter
MQ 3611 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 85.9% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 62.7%, a swing of 23 points on roughly 80 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.
- Jul–Sep 202577 flights62.7%
- Oct–Dec 202576 flights80.0%
- Jan–Mar 202681 flights85.9%
- Apr–Jun 202685 flights74.7%
Scale runs 55% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, MQ 3611 ranged from 74.0% on Saturday to 78.0% on Sunday. With about 46 flights behind each day, a spread of 4 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.
Delay causes
Why MQ 3611 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 57% of the 4,571 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.
- 57%Late-arriving aircraft
- 20%Carrier
- 14%National Airspace System
- 9%Extreme weather
57% 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 4,571 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 6 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 4,571 delay minutes reported on MQ 3611.
Cancellations sit at 2.19% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.31%.
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. 10.0% 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 319 flights under MQ 3611 in the data flew DFW to ABI. 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. 319 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 3611
For a booking, read MQ 3611 as 75.9% on time with 2.19% cancelled over 319 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
