Historical statistics for September 2025 to August 2026, not live status. For today’s flights, check with Envoy Air.

Envoy on DFW to CMH lands a B+, level with the national rate of 77.3%. About one flight in four arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by about an hour on average. That rests on 310 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.

The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate Envoy on DFW to CMH from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

These figures cover 310 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 8 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 DFW to CMH

Envoy flew 310 of the 1,727 flights on DFW to CMH, about 18% of it. Its 76.7% on time is 5 points better than the route as a whole, which runs 71.6%. Ranked by on-time rate it is number two of four carriers on the route, where the range runs from Delta at 100.0% to PSA at 50.0%. 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 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 15 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.

2pm–5pm26 flights—

Scale runs 65% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

The best window here is not the first bank but the 11am–2pm slot at 88.3% on time, ahead of 5pm–8pm at 73.4%. Where the curve peaks mid-day rather than at dawn, the constraint is usually congestion at one end rather than the aircraft's own rotation. The 5pm–8pm window is the busiest, with 215 flights scheduled in it.

Monthly volumes are too low here to break the year into twelve reliable readings. What the twelve-month total says is 76.7% on time across 310 flights.

Envoy on DFW to CMH did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 83.0% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 61.0%, a swing of 22 points on roughly 78 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, Wednesday is the strongest day at 87.8% on time and Monday the weakest at 68.3%, a spread of 20 points.

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 4,213 reported delay minutes.

Late-arriving aircraft
39%
National Airspace System
26%
Carrier
25%
Extreme weather
9%

39% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 4,213 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 4 to one. The split is drawn from 4,213 reported delay minutes.

Cancellations are rare at 0.32%, 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

6.8% 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 926 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 86.7% on time across 311 flights, 10 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 10 points of difference.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 310 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 DFW to CMH

Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 310 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 76.7% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 309 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
