This route 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 a little over an hour on average. That rests on 2,545 DFW to CRP flights, of which Envoy Air flew 1,863 at 83.8% on time.
Best time to fly DFW to CRP: a 8am–11am departure, ideally on a Thursday. Flights in that window arrived on time 87.6% of the time and Thursday flights 85.5%, against 81.4% for the route overall.
Set against the rest of the country, this route's record is 4 points better than the US average of 77.3%. That gap is worth roughly 41 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 2,545 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
Which airline is most reliable on DFW to CRP
The choice of carrier is not cosmetic here. Envoy Air arrives on time 83.8% of the time; PSA Airlines manages 71.2%. Sample sizes sit next to every figure, because a two-point gap across 404 flights means less than a ten-point one.
| Airline | Flights | On time | Avg delay | Cancelled | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Envoy Air | 1,863 | 83.8% | 55 min | 1.72% | B |
| SkyWest Airlinesthin sample | 278 | 79.5% | 67 min | 5.04% | B− |
| PSA Airlines | 404 | 71.2% | 112 min | 5.20% | C− |
PSA Airlines cancels 5.2% 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.

Best ways to make this trip
The most reliable ways to fly Dallas-Fort Worth to Corpus Christi
Every airline on this route, ranked by how often a scheduled flight actually operated and arrived on time, with its best departure time and most punctual flight number. No nearby airport pair beat these.
| Option | Airline | Success | On time | Cancelled | Best departure | Most punctual flight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. DFW → CRPDallas-Fort Worth to Corpus Christi | Envoy Air | 82.4% | 83.8% | 1.72% | 8am–11am, Tue | MQ 4173 20:43 |
| 2. DFW → CRPDallas-Fort Worth to Corpus Christi | PSA Airlines | 67.5% | 71.2% | 5.20% | 8pm–5am, Thu | — |
Success is the share of scheduled flights that operated and arrived less than 15 minutes late, so a cancelled flight counts against it. “(route)” means the best time comes from every carrier on the route rather than this airline alone.
Departure window
The best time of day to leave
Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 12 points, against 13 points between the best and worst carrier.

- 8am–11am674 flights87.6%

Scale runs 65% to 95%.
Book the morning departure. Flights leaving between 8am–11am arrive on time 87.6% of the time, against 75.2% for the overnight window. That is 12 points of difference for no extra money, and it comes from the same aircraft having had no earlier flight to fall behind on. The 8am–11am window is the busiest, with 674 flights scheduled in it.

Across the year
When delays peak on this route
This route's year swings by 20 points from best month to worst, which is wide. An annual average tells you very little about the week you are actually flying, so read the strip rather than the headline if your dates are fixed.
Delays peak in April, when the on-time rate falls to 73.0%. August is the strongest month at 92.5%. Moving a flexible trip across that boundary buys 20 points. July was the busiest month here, with 261 flights.
Across the week, Thursday is the strongest day at 85.5% on time and Sunday the weakest at 77.7%, a spread of 8 points.
Delay causes
Why this route gets delayed
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 44% of the 32,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 44%Late-arriving aircraft
- 30%Carrier
- 18%National Airspace System
- 8%Extreme weather
- 0%Security
44% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 32,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 6 to one. The split is drawn from 32,133 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 87.6% on time here.
Cancellations run at 2.63%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 40 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 actually costs
6.2% 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 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 82.6% on time across 2,545 flights, within about 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 2,545 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 this route
Put together: the calendar is the biggest lever here, not the carrier or the hour. August runs 92.5% on time and April 73.0%, a swing of 20 points. If the dates move at all, move them out of April before you think about anything else. 2,473 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
Common questions
DFW to CRP questions
How often is DFW to CRP delayed?
About one flight in five arrives at least 15 minutes late, which is the Department of Transportation's definition of a delayed arrival. That works out to 18.6% of the 2,545 flights in this analysis, against 22.7% nationally. Delayed flights are late by a little over an hour on average.
Which airline is most reliable on DFW to CRP?
Envoy Air leads at 83.8% on time across 1,863 flights. PSA Airlines is at the other end on 71.2%, a gap of 13 points. Sample size matters as much as the percentage: a rate built from a few hundred flights moves around far more than one built from ten thousand.
What time of day has the fewest delays on DFW to CRP?
The 8am–11am departure window is the strongest at 87.6% on time. The 8pm–5am window is the weakest at 75.2%, 12 points behind. Later departures inherit delays from earlier flights the same aircraft has already flown, which is why the curve slopes the way it does.
How bad are April delays on DFW to CRP?
April is the weakest month at 73.0% on time, compared with 92.5% in August. Across the year that is 20 points between the best and worst months. Moving flexible dates out of that month is one of the few things that reliably helps.
