Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s MQ 3647, 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 3647 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 11 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 344 flights, with a median arrival 12 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, MQ 3647's record is 11 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 109 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 344 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 12 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 3647 flies

MQ 3647 flies ABI to DFW without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 06:28, used on 64 of 344 flights, with 05:19 (61 flights) and 06:30 (46 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

  • Departs 05:1961 flights17.7%
  • Departs 06:3046 flights13.4%

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 06:28 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and MQ 3647 runs level with that at 88.5%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Delay causes

Why MQ 3647 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 63% of the 3,126 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.

  • Carrier
    63%
  • National Airspace System
    17%
  • Extreme weather
    14%
  • Late-arriving aircraft
    5%

Extreme weather accounts for 14% 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 2.3 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 3,126 delay minutes reported on MQ 3647.

Cancellations are rare at 0.87%, 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

5.0% 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.

Every one of the 344 flights under MQ 3647 in the data flew ABI to DFW. 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. 344 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 3647

For a booking, MQ 3647 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 88.5% on time and 0.87% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
