Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s flights, check with PSA Airlines.

PSA on DFW to CRP sits in the middle of the pack with a C−. About seven flights in ten arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 6 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land close to two hours behind schedule. That rests on 404 flights, with a median arrival 5 minutes early.

The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so PSA on DFW to CRP runs 6 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 64 extra late arrivals.

Every carrier on DFW to CRP, 2,458 flights

These figures cover 404 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 14.7% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.

Carrier by carrier

PSA against every carrier on DFW to CRP

PSA flew 404 of the 2,458 flights on DFW to CRP, about 16% of it. Its 71.2% on time is 9 points worse than the route as a whole, which runs 80.0%. Ranked by on-time rate it is last 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 PSA runs best on this route

Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 11 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–8am12 flights—
8am–11am97 flights70.5%
11am–2pm68 flights72.7%
2pm–5pm38 flights70.3%
5pm–8pm46 flights62.8%
8pm–5am143 flights73.8%

Scale runs 55% to 80%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

The 5pm–8pm window is where this operation falls apart: 62.8% on time, against 73.8% for the 8pm–5am slot. By evening the aircraft flying these rotations have absorbed a full day of small delays and there is no slack left to recover in. The 8pm–5am window is the busiest, with 143 flights scheduled in it.

Across the year

PSA on DFW to CRP through the year

Oct–Dec 202570 flights71.6%
Jan–Mar 2026244 flights73.4%
Apr–Jun 202690 flights65.1%

Scale runs 55% to 80%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

Monthly volumes are too low here to break the year into twelve reliable readings. What the twelve-month total says is 71.2% on time across 404 flights.

Quarter by quarter PSA on DFW to CRP held fairly steady: 71.6% in Oct–Dec 2025, 73.4% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 65.1% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 8 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

Across the week, Thursday is the strongest day at 78.8% on time and Sunday the weakest at 60.0%. 19 points is a smaller lever than departure hour, but it is free.

Delay causes

Why PSA 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 12,000 reported delay minutes.

Late-arriving aircraft
42%
Carrier
33%
National Airspace System
16%
Extreme weather
8%
Security
1%

42% 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 12,000 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 12,285 reported delay minutes.

Cancellations run at 5.20%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about 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

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 14.7% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.

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 8pm–5am window matters as much as it does.

The return leg is a different operation and performs like one: it runs 75.7% on time across 404 flights, 5 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 5 points of difference.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 404 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 PSA on DFW to CRP

Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 5.20% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you close to two hours; a cancelled flight costs you the day. Book the 8pm–5am departure so there is still a schedule behind you if it goes wrong, and treat a same-day connection as optimistic. 382 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
