SkyWest on CRP to DFW sits in the middle of the pack with a C−. Close to three flights in four arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 3 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land an hour and a half behind schedule. That rests on 289 flights. The strongest carrier on the route with a full sample, Envoy Air, flew 1,765 at 82.5% on time.

The US average over the same twelve months is 77.6%, so there is little to separate SkyWest on CRP to DFW from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

These figures cover 289 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 11.1% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.

Carrier by carrier

SkyWest against every carrier on CRP to DFW

SkyWest flew 289 of the 2,458 flights on CRP to DFW, about 12% of it. Its 74.5% on time is 6 points worse than the route as a whole, which runs 80.5%. Ranked by on-time rate it is last of three carriers on the route, where the range runs from Envoy at 82.5% to SkyWest at 74.5%.

The choice of carrier is not cosmetic here. Envoy Air arrives on time 82.5% of the time; PSA Airlines manages 75.7%. Sample sizes sit next to every figure, because a two-point gap across 404 flights means less than a ten-point one.

On-time performance by carrier on CRP to DFW
Airline	Flights	On time	Avg delay	Cancelled	Grade
Envoy Air	1,765	82.5%	71 min	2.15%	B
PSA Airlines	404	75.7%	132 min	4.95%	B−
SkyWest Airlines (this page)thin sample	289	74.5%	87 min	5.88%	C−

PSA Airlines cancels 5.0% of what it schedules here, the highest in the table. A cancelled flight never appears in an on-time rate, so read that column alongside the punctuality one rather than after it.

Departure window

When SkyWest runs best on this route

Departure time is the single lever a traveller controls, and it moves the odds more than most people expect. Each bar below is the on-time rate for flights scheduled to leave inside that window, across 289 flights.

11am–2pm15 flights—
2pm–5pm136 flights74.2%
5pm–8pm120 flights72.8%

Scale runs 65% to 80%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

The 2pm–5pm window is the strongest at 74.2% on time. The full set of windows spans about a point.

Monthly volumes are too low here to break the year into twelve reliable readings. What the twelve-month total says is 74.5% on time across 289 flights.

SkyWest on CRP to DFW did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 78.3% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 66.7%, a swing of 12 points on roughly 96 flights a quarter. The twelve-month rate averages over that, so if you are flying in a weak quarter the quarter's own figure is the better guide.

Across the week, Tuesday is the strongest day at 84.8% on time and Saturday the weakest at 57.1%. 28 points is a smaller lever than departure hour, but it is free.

Delay causes

Why SkyWest 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 5,993 reported delay minutes.

Carrier
34%
Extreme weather
29%
Late-arriving aircraft
27%
National Airspace System
10%

Extreme weather accounts for 29% 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 4.6 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 5,993 reported delay minutes.

The largest share of delay minutes, 34%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. Unlike weather, that is a management outcome, and it is the category where the gap between two carriers on the same schedule is genuinely earned. It accounts for 2,062 of the 5,993 delay minutes reported here.

Cancellations run at 5.88%, against 1.81% nationally. That is roughly one flight in fifteen cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.

Connections and stage length

What a delay here costs

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 11.1% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.

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 2pm–5pm window matters as much as it does.

The return leg is a different operation and performs like one: it runs 79.8% on time across 289 flights, 5 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 5 points of difference.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 289 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 SkyWest on CRP to DFW

Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 5.88% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you an hour and a half; a cancelled flight costs you the day. Book the 2pm–5pm departure so there is still a schedule behind you if it goes wrong, and treat a same-day connection as optimistic. 271 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
