Republic on DCA to MYR lands a B−, level with the national rate of 77.3%. Roughly one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by about 40 minutes on average. That rests on 143 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 Republic on DCA to MYR from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

These figures cover 143 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
Republic against every carrier on DCA to MYR
Republic flew 143 of the 754 flights on DCA to MYR, about 19% of it. Its 77.8% on time is 2 points better than the route as a whole, which runs 76.0%. Ranked by on-time rate it is number two of four carriers on the route, where the range runs from American at 100.0% to Envoy at 54.2%. Two 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 Republic 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 143 flights.
There are not enough flights in each departure window to split Republic's DCA to MYR record by time of day without the percentages moving on noise. The headline rate of 77.8% is the reliable figure here.

Monthly volumes are too low here to break the year into twelve reliable readings. What the twelve-month total says is 77.8% on time across 143 flights.
Split by quarter, Republic on DCA to MYR logged 4 flights in Jul–Sep 2025, 9 flights in Oct–Dec 2025, 68 flights in Jan–Mar 2026, 56 flights in Apr–Jun 2026 and 6 flights in Jul–Sep 2026. Fewer than three of those quarters carried the 30 completed flights this site needs before printing a rate, so the 77.8% annual figure is the one to use.
Arrival by arrival
How late Republic on DCA to MYR runs when it is late

Share of 135 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
5 of 25 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 20% of them. In the other direction, 10 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 MYR.
The worst days
Worst days for Republic on DCA to MYR
The latest arrival of the period was on 30 April 2026, 1 hour 56 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. The same cause led on four of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 30 April 2026 | 1 hour 56 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 1 December 2025 | 1 hour 43 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 2 December 2025 | 1 hour 29 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why Republic runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 62% of the 1,192 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 62%Late-arriving aircraft
- 24%National Airspace System
- 14%Carrier
- 1%Extreme weather
62% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 1,192 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 57 to one. The split is drawn from 1,192 reported delay minutes.
The practical consequence: the 8am–11am departure is the one that starts clean. Its aircraft has no earlier leg to be late from, which is exactly why that window shows 81.1% on time here.
Cancellations run at 5.59%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly one flight in twenty 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
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.7% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.
At 372 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 75.7% on time across 143 flights, within 2 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. 143 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 Republic on DCA to MYR
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 5.59% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you about 40 minutes; a cancelled flight costs you the day. Book the 8am–11am departure so there is still a schedule behind you if it goes wrong, and treat a same-day connection as optimistic. 135 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
