Historical statistics for September 2025 to August 2026, not live status. For today’s flights, check with PSA Airlines.
PSA on CLT to AVP lands a B, 4 points better than the national rate of 77.3%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by about an hour on average. That rests on 696 flights, with a median arrival 9 minutes early.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate PSA on CLT to AVP from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

Every carrier on CLT to AVP, 978 flights
These figures cover 696 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 9 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 CLT to AVP
PSA flew 696 of the 978 flights on CLT to AVP, most of the route. Its 81.2% on time is 2 points better than the route as a whole, which runs 79.4%. Ranked by on-time rate it is first of two carriers on the route, where the range runs from PSA at 81.2% to American at 74.5%. 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 17 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.

- 8am–11am265 flights88.9%
- 11am–2pm1 flights—

Scale runs 65% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
Book the morning departure. Flights leaving between 8am–11am arrive on time 88.9% of the time, against 72.1% for the overnight window. That is 17 points of difference for no extra money, and it comes from the same aircraft having had no earlier flight to fall behind on. The 8am–11am window is the busiest, with 265 flights scheduled in it.
Across the year
PSA on CLT to AVP through the year
December is the weak month at 65.9% on time, against 93.3% in September. 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, Monday is the strongest day at 86.9% on time and Saturday the weakest at 77.7%, a spread of 9 points.

The latest arrival of the period was on 4 August 2026, 9 hours 5 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage).

| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 4 August 2026 | 9 hours 5 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why PSA runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 46% of the 8,352 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 46%Late-arriving aircraft
- 35%Carrier
- 11%National Airspace System
- 8%Extreme weather
- 0%Security
46% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 8,352 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 6 to one. The split is drawn from 8,352 reported delay minutes.
The largest share of delay minutes, 35%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 2,907 of the 8,352 delay minutes reported here.
Cancellations sit at 1.15% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
6.7% 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 about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
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 89.1% on time across 697 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. 696 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 CLT to AVP
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 696 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 81.2% 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.
