Historical statistics for September 2025 to August 2026, not live status. For today’s flights, check with Envoy Air.
Envoy on AVP to ORD lands a B, level with the national rate of 77.3%. Roughly one flight in four arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by a little over an hour on average. That rests on 666 flights, with a median arrival 11 minutes early.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate Envoy on AVP to ORD from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

Carrier by carrier
Envoy against every carrier on AVP to ORD
Envoy flew 666 of the 846 flights on AVP to ORD, most of the route. Its 77.4% on time is about level with the route as a whole at 76.4%. Ranked by on-time rate it is first of two carriers on the route, where the range runs from Envoy at 77.4% to SkyWest at 72.8%. 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 Envoy runs best on this route
Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 26 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.
- 5am–8am364 flights87.5%
- 8am–11am1 flights—
- 11am–2pm4 flights—
- 2pm–5pm66 flights73.8%
- 5pm–8pm231 flights61.8%
- 8pm–5am—
Scale runs 55% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The 5pm–8pm window is where this operation falls apart: 61.8% on time, against 87.5% for the 5am–8am slot. By evening the aircraft flying these rotations have absorbed a full day of small delays and there is no slack left to recover in. The 5am–8am window is the busiest, with 364 flights scheduled in it.
Across the year
Envoy on AVP to ORD through the year
December is the weak month at 58.8% on time, against 91.1% in February. 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 62 flights.
Across the week, Saturday is the strongest day at 85.7% on time and Sunday the weakest at 72.2%, a spread of 14 points.

Share of 650 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
Time lost at the gate mostly stays lost. Of 113 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, only 13 made it up before arrival. In the other direction, 47 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at ORD.
The worst days
Worst days for Envoy on AVP to ORD
The latest arrival of the period was on 2 April 2026, 6 hours 15 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. The same cause led on three of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 2 April 2026 | 6 hours 15 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 31 March 2026 | 5 hours 9 minutes | National Airspace System |
| 17 June 2026 | 4 hours 48 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 7 December 2025 | 4 hours 19 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 10,000 reported delay minutes.
- 36%Late-arriving aircraft
- 31%National Airspace System
- 23%Carrier
- 11%Extreme weather
36% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 10,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 3 to one. The split is drawn from 10,356 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 87.5% on time here.
Cancellations sit at 2.10% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.30%.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
9.4% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The 632 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 runs 74.8% on time across 666 flights, within 3 points of this direction. The two legs are scored separately because they usually differ; on this city pair they happen not to.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 666 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 Envoy on AVP to ORD
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 666 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 77.4% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 650 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
