Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s MQ 4087, 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 4087 lands a B, 4 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by a little over an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 311 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.

These figures cover 311 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 4087 flies
MQ 4087 flies CLT to XNA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 18:10, used on 57 of 311 flights, with 18:05 (45 flights) and 19:40 (37 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.
- Departs 18:1057 flights18.3%
- Departs 18:0545 flights14.5%
- Departs 19:4037 flights11.9%
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 18:10 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and MQ 4087 runs 13 points better at 81.4%. 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 4087 next to CLT to XNA
Every carrier on CLT to XNA combined arrived on time 81.7% of the time across 1,482 flights, so MQ 4087 is about level with it. Envoy flew 627 flights on the same city pair under all its flight numbers, including this one, and those ran 80.8% on time. Across its whole network Envoy Air managed 80.2%, close to this flight's figure.

Across the year
MQ 4087 quarter by quarter
Quarter by quarter MQ 4087 held fairly steady: 80.4% in Jul–Sep 2025, 79.3% in Oct–Dec 2025, 85.2% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 80.4% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 6 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.
- Jul–Sep 202592 flights80.4%
- Oct–Dec 202587 flights79.3%
- Jan–Mar 202686 flights85.2%
- Apr–Jun 202646 flights80.4%
Scale runs 70% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, MQ 4087 did best on Wednesday at 95.3% on time and worst on Sunday at 71.4%. Each day rests on about 44 flights, so a gap of 24 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why MQ 4087 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 46% of the 4,456 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.
- 46%Carrier
- 32%Late-arriving aircraft
- 13%National Airspace System
- 9%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 46%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. Unlike weather, that is a management outcome, and it is the category where the gap between two carriers on the same schedule is genuinely earned. It accounts for 2,037 of the 4,456 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 4,456 delay minutes reported on MQ 4087.
Cancellations sit at 1.61% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
6.2% 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 754 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.
The same number turns up on four other city pairs in the data, including ATL to DCA (37), DCA to ATL (37) and BOS to DCA (1), but none flew often enough under MQ 4087 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to CLT to XNA only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 311 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 4087
For a booking, read MQ 4087 as 81.4% on time with 1.61% cancelled over 311 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
