Envoy on CLT to XNA lands a B, 3 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 a little over an hour on average. That rests on 627 flights, with a median arrival 7 minutes early.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate Envoy on CLT to XNA from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

These figures cover 627 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 7 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.

| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 6 March 2026 | 11 hours 48 minutes | Carrier |
| 10 November 2025 | 11 hours 32 minutes | Carrier |
| 1 January 2026 | 5 hours 43 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 45% of the 9,386 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 45%Late-arriving aircraft
- 35%Carrier
- 12%National Airspace System
- 8%Extreme weather
45% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 9,386 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 5 to one. The split is drawn from 9,386 reported delay minutes.
The largest share of delay minutes, 35%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 3,240 of the 9,386 delay minutes reported here.
Cancellations sit at 1.75% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
7.5% 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 754 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 89.3% on time across 627 flights, 9 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 9 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 627 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 CLT to XNA
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 627 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 79.9% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 616 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
