These figures cover 279 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 10 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.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 07:10 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and MQ 4168 runs level with that at 87.7%. 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 4168 quarter by quarter
MQ 4168 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 94.2% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 80.0%, a swing of 14 points on roughly 56 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.

The worst days
Worst days for MQ 4168
The latest arrival of the period was on 10 August 2026, 4 hours 20 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. On three of the five worst days the largest share was filed as extreme weather.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 10 August 2026 | 4 hours 20 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 7 June 2026 | 3 hours 48 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 19 June 2026 | 3 hours 22 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 18 April 2026 | 3 hours 8 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 18 August 2026 | 2 hours 32 minutes | Carrier |
Delay causes
Why MQ 4168 runs late
Extreme weather accounts for 49% of the 2,740 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 49%Extreme weather
- 22%Carrier
- 20%National Airspace System
- 9%Late-arriving aircraft
Extreme weather accounts for 49% 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 8.1 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 2,740 delay minutes reported on MQ 4168.
Cancellations are rare at 0.72%, below the national 1.89% 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
5.8% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so 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 same number turns up on five other city pairs in the data, including RNO to PHX (19), PHX to RNO (19) and EYW to ORD (12), but none flew often enough under MQ 4168 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to CRP to DFW only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 279 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 4168
For a booking, MQ 4168 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 87.7% on time and 0.72% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
