Every carrier on AVP to CLT, 978 flights
These figures cover 697 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 21 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.

Carrier by carrier
PSA against every carrier on AVP to CLT
PSA flew 697 of the 978 flights on AVP to CLT, most of the route. Its 89.1% on time is 3 points better than the route as a whole, which runs 85.7%. Ranked by on-time rate it is first of two carriers on the route, where the range runs from PSA at 89.1% to American at 76.9%. One of those carriers flew fewer than 365 flights here, so treat their positions as rough.
Only one carrier clears this site's 365-flight floor here, so there is no comparison to draw. The table below is the full picture.

Departure window
When PSA runs best on this route
Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 11 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.
- 5am–8am256 flights92.4%
- 8am–11am—
- 11am–2pm265 flights90.8%
- 2pm–5pm10 flights—
- 5pm–8pm166 flights81.2%
- 8pm–5am—
Scale runs 75% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
Book the early departure. Flights leaving between 5am–8am arrive on time 92.4% of the time, against 81.2% for the evening window. That is 11 points of difference for no extra money, and it comes from the same aircraft having had no earlier flight to fall behind on. The 11am–2pm window is the busiest, with 265 flights scheduled in it.
Across the year
PSA on AVP to CLT through the year
December is the weak month at 76.2% on time, against 95.6% in April. Winter delays cluster: a single storm system can account for most of a month's shortfall, so an average December hides both very good weeks and genuinely unflyable days. March was the busiest month here, with 90 flights.
Across the week, Wednesday is the strongest day at 94.5% on time and Thursday the weakest at 87.0%, a spread of 8 points.

|---|---|---|
| 16 August 2026 | 17 hours 20 minutes | Carrier |
| 12 May 2026 | 17 hours 16 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why PSA runs late on this route
Carrier accounts for 62% of the 7,903 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 62%Carrier
- 33%Late-arriving aircraft
- 4%National Airspace System
- 1%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 62%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 4,931 of the 7,903 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 7,903 reported delay minutes.
The practical consequence: the 5am–8am departure is the one that starts clean. Its aircraft has no earlier leg to be late from, which is exactly why that window shows 92.4% on time here.
Cancellations sit at 1.15% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.14%.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.5% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% 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 509 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.
The return leg is a different operation and performs like one: it runs 81.2% on time across 696 flights, 8 points below 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. 697 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 AVP to CLT
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 697 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor and not enough to be confident to better than a couple of points. The 89.1% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 688 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
