Flights: 357
Period: July 2025 to June 2026

Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s MQ 4086, 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 4086 lands a B+, 6 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in six arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by about 50 minutes on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 357 flights, with a median arrival 6 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, MQ 4086's record is 6 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 60 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 357 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 6 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 4086 flies

MQ 4086 flies PHX to XNA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 16:25, used on 37 of 357 flights, with 16:10 (37 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 16:25 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and MQ 4086 runs 11 points better at 83.6%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Against the route

MQ 4086 next to PHX to XNA

Across the year

MQ 4086 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter MQ 4086 held fairly steady: 83.7% in Jul–Sep 2025, 86.8% in Oct–Dec 2025, 79.0% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 84.4% 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 202592 flights83.7%
Oct–Dec 202591 flights86.8%
Jan–Mar 202683 flights79.0%

Scale runs 70% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, MQ 4086 did best on Saturday at 91.5% on time and worst on Sunday at 73.1%. Each day rests on about 51 flights, so a gap of 18 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why MQ 4086 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 55% of the 2,861 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.

55% 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 2,861 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 55 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 2,861 delay minutes reported on MQ 4086.

Cancellations are rare at 0.56%, 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

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.8% 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 1,023 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.

Every one of the 357 flights under MQ 4086 in the data flew PHX to XNA. 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. 357 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 4086

For a booking, read MQ 4086 as 83.6% on time with 0.56% cancelled over 357 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
