Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s flights, check with PSA Airlines.
PSA on AUS to DFW draws a C−. About one flight in three arrives at least 15 minutes late, and the typical late arrival is a little over an hour behind schedule. Build slack into anything you connect to. That rests on 108 flights. The strongest carrier on the route with a full sample, Envoy Air, flew 688 at 77.2% on time.
The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so PSA on AUS to DFW runs 11 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 109 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 108 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 13.1% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.
Carrier by carrier
PSA against every carrier on AUS to DFW
PSA flew 108 of the 4,742 flights on AUS to DFW, about 2% of it. Its 66.7% on time is 7 points worse than the route as a whole, which runs 73.8%. Ranked by on-time rate it is number three of four carriers on the route, where the range runs from Envoy at 77.2% to SkyWest at 64.2%. One of those carriers flew fewer than 365 flights here, so treat their positions as rough.
The two carriers here are closely matched: 3 points separate the best from the worst. At that spread, schedule and price are better tie-breakers than reliability. Sample sizes are shown so you can see which rows are worth weighing.

Envoy Air cancels 3.9% of what it schedules here, the highest in the table. A cancelled flight never appears in an on-time rate, so read that column alongside the punctuality one rather than after it.
Departure window
When PSA runs best on this route
Departure time is the single lever a traveller controls, and it moves the odds more than most people expect. Each bar below is the on-time rate for flights scheduled to leave inside that window, across 108 flights.
There are not enough flights in each departure window to split PSA's AUS to DFW record by time of day without the percentages moving on noise. The headline rate of 66.7% is the reliable figure here.
Across the year
PSA on AUS to DFW through the year
- Jul–Sep 20259 flights—
- Oct–Dec 202515 flights—
- Jan–Mar 202665 flights74.1%
- Apr–Jun 202619 flights—
Scale runs 65% to 80%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
Monthly volumes are too low here to break the year into twelve reliable readings. What the twelve-month total says is 66.7% on time across 108 flights.
Split by quarter, PSA on AUS to DFW logged 9 flights in Jul–Sep 2025, 15 flights in Oct–Dec 2025, 65 flights in Jan–Mar 2026 and 19 flights in Apr–Jun 2026. Fewer than three of those quarters carried the 30 completed flights this site needs before printing a rate, so the 66.7% annual figure is the one to use.
Delay causes
Why PSA runs late on this route
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 74% of the 2,573 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.
- 74%Late-arriving aircraft
- 14%National Airspace System
- 11%Carrier
- 1%Extreme weather
74% 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 2,573 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 64 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 2,573 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations run at 8.33%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about one flight in twelve cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 13.1% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
At 190 miles this is a short hop, and stage length matters more than it looks. A flight this short spends under two hours in the air, which leaves almost nothing to claw back a late pushback with. Delay here is decided on the ground, in the turn, which is why the 11am–2pm window matters as much as it does.
The return leg is a different operation and performs like one: it runs 75.0% on time across 108 flights, 8 points above this direction. Departure banks, aircraft rotations and the congestion at each end all differ, so scoring the two directions together would average away a real 8 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 108 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 PSA on AUS to DFW
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 8.33% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you a little over an hour; a cancelled flight costs you the day. Book the 11am–2pm departure so there is still a schedule behind you if it goes wrong, and treat a same-day connection as optimistic. 99 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
