SkyWest on DEN to PSC 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 366 flights, with a median arrival 6 minutes early.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate SkyWest on DEN to PSC from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

These figures cover 366 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 6 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.

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 366 flights.
There are not enough flights in each departure window to split SkyWest's DEN to PSC record by time of day without the percentages moving on noise. The headline rate of 81.0% is the reliable figure here.
Across the year
SkyWest on DEN to PSC through the year
December is the weak month at 58.1% on time, against 100.0% 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. December was the busiest month here, with 32 flights.
Across the week, Sunday is the strongest day at 86.5% on time and Friday the weakest at 75.0%, a spread of 12 points.

| 9 June 2026 | 6 hours 52 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why SkyWest runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 44% of the 4,554 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 44%Late-arriving aircraft
- 31%Carrier
- 13%Extreme weather
- 13%National Airspace System
Extreme weather accounts for 13% 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 2.1 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 4,554 reported delay minutes.
44% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 4,554 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 3 to one.
Cancellations are rare at 0.27%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
7.7% 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 853 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 87.2% on time across 365 flights, 6 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 6 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 366 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 DEN to PSC
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 366 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 81.0% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 364 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
