These figures cover 1,765 flights between July 2025 and June 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 CRP
Envoy flew 1,765 of the 2,458 flights on DFW to CRP, most of the route. Its 82.0% on time is 2 points better than the route as a whole, which runs 80.0%. Ranked by on-time rate it is first of three carriers on the route, where the range runs from Envoy at 82.0% to PSA at 71.2%. One 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 16 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier. Each bar is the on-time rate for flights scheduled inside that window.
- 5am–8am41 flights85.0%
- 8am–11am573 flights90.2%
- 11am–2pm165 flights81.6%
- 2pm–5pm247 flights81.8%
- 5pm–8pm367 flights76.5%
- 8pm–5am372 flights74.6%
Scale runs 65% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
Book the morning departure. Flights leaving between 8am–11am arrive on time 90.2% of the time, against 74.6% for the overnight window. That is 16 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 573 flights scheduled in it.
Across the year
Envoy on DFW to CRP through the year
Delays peak in May, when the on-time rate falls to 74.4%. February is the strongest month at 93.2%. Moving a flexible trip across that boundary buys 19 points. June was the busiest month here, with 256 flights.
Across the week, Thursday is the strongest day at 86.9% on time and Monday the weakest at 77.0%. 10 points is a smaller lever than departure hour, but it is free.
Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 49% of the 17,000 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.
- 49%Late-arriving aircraft
- 21%National Airspace System
- 21%Carrier
- 9%Extreme weather
- 0%Security
49% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 17,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 6 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 17,081 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 90.2% on time here.
Cancellations sit at 2.10% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.17%.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
5.2% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about 55 minutes, 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 82.5% on time across 1,765 flights, within half 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 1,765 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 Envoy on DFW to CRP
Put together: the calendar is the biggest lever here, not the carrier or the hour. February runs 93.2% on time and May 74.4%, a swing of 19 points. If the dates move at all, move them out of May before you think about anything else. 1,725 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
