Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s flights, check with Envoy Air.
Envoy on CRP to DFW lands a B, 5 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in six arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by a little over an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 1,765 flights, with a median arrival 7 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, Envoy's CRP to DFW record is 5 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 49 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 1,765 flights between July 2025 and June 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.
Carrier by carrier
Envoy against every carrier on CRP to DFW
Envoy flew 1,765 of the 2,458 flights on CRP to DFW, most of the route. Its 82.5% on time is 2 points better than the route as a whole, which runs 80.5%. Ranked by on-time rate it is first of three carriers on the route, where the range runs from Envoy at 82.5% to SkyWest 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 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 18 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier. Each bar is the on-time rate for flights scheduled inside that window.
- 5am–8am511 flights87.4%
- 8am–11am317 flights87.8%
- 11am–2pm296 flights86.6%
- 2pm–5pm316 flights69.9%
- 5pm–8pm129 flights81.6%
- 8pm–5am196 flights76.5%
Scale runs 60% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
Book the morning departure. Flights leaving between 8am–11am arrive on time 87.8% of the time, against 69.9% for the afternoon window. That is 18 points of difference for no extra money, and it comes from the same aircraft having had no earlier flight to fall behind on. The 5am–8am window is the busiest, with 511 flights scheduled in it.
Across the year
Envoy on CRP to DFW through the year
June is the worst month at 74.8% on time, 20 points below February, the best at 94.5%. Summer afternoon convection and peak-season schedules land on the same weeks every year, so this is a pattern you can book around rather than a run of bad luck. June was the busiest month here, with 256 flights.
Across the week, Thursday is the strongest day at 89.1% on time and Monday the weakest at 74.4%. 15 points is a smaller lever than departure hour, but it is free.
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 21,000 reported delay minutes.
- 41%Late-arriving aircraft
- 34%Extreme weather
- 16%National Airspace System
- 10%Carrier
Extreme weather accounts for 34% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the monthly strip above is the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 5.4 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 21,214 reported delay minutes.
41% 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 21,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 1 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.
Cancellations sit at 2.15% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.17%.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
6.5% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says 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.
At 355 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 8am–11am window matters as much as it does.
The return leg runs 82.0% on time across 1,765 flights, within half a point of this direction. The two legs are scored separately because they usually differ; on this city pair they happen not to.
The sample behind these figures is 1,765 flights, enough that the headline rate is stable to within roughly a point. The hour-block and month splits divide that further, so read the thinner bars with more caution than the headline.
What to do with this
Booking Envoy on CRP to DFW
Put together: the calendar is the biggest lever here, not the carrier or the hour. February runs 94.5% on time and June 74.8%, a swing of 20 points. If the dates move at all, move them out of June before you think about anything else. 1,724 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
