Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s MQ 4094, 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 4094 lands a B, 3 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 about an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 349 flights, with a median arrival 11 minutes early.

These figures cover 349 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 11 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 4094 flies

MQ 4094 flies CVG to ORD without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 06:00, used on 62 of 349 flights, with 06:36 (46 flights) and 05:00 (43 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 06:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and MQ 4094 runs 8 points worse at 81.0%. 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 4094 quarter by quarter

MQ 4094 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 88.6% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 76.5%, a swing of 12 points on roughly 87 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.

Oct–Dec 202583 flights77.1%
Jan–Mar 202685 flights76.5%
Apr–Jun 202690 flights88.6%

Scale runs 70% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, MQ 4094 did best on Friday at 87.8% on time and worst on Tuesday at 70.6%. Each day rests on about 50 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why MQ 4094 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. National Airspace System accounts for 48% of the 4,184 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.

National Airspace System
48%
Carrier
45%
Extreme weather
7%

The largest share of delay minutes, 45%, 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 1,874 of the 4,184 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 4,184 delay minutes reported on MQ 4094.

Cancellations sit at 1.43% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.29%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

7.0% 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 about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

Every one of the 349 flights under MQ 4094 in the data flew CVG 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. 349 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 4094

For a booking, read MQ 4094 as 81.0% on time with 1.43% cancelled over 349 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
