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

SkyWest on DFW to CRP lands a B−, 2 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by about an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 289 flights. The strongest carrier on the route with a full sample, Envoy Air, flew 1,765 at 82.0% on time.

The US average over the same twelve months is 77.6%, so there is little to separate SkyWest on DFW to CRP from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

Every carrier on DFW to CRP, 2,458 flights

These figures cover 289 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 8.5% 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

SkyWest against every carrier on DFW to CRP

SkyWest flew 289 of the 2,458 flights on DFW to CRP, about 12% of it. Its 79.8% on time is about level with the route as a whole at 80.0%. Ranked by on-time rate it is number two of three carriers on the route, where the range runs from Envoy at 82.0% to PSA at 71.2%.

The choice of carrier is not cosmetic here. Envoy Air arrives on time 82.0% 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.

On-time performance by carrier on DFW to CRP
Airline	Flights	On time	Avg delay	Cancelled	Grade
Envoy Air	1,765	82.0%	55 min	2.10%	B
SkyWest Airlines (this page)thin sample	289	79.8%	67 min	5.54%	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.

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 289 flights.

There are not enough flights in each departure window to split SkyWest's DFW to CRP record by time of day without the percentages moving on noise. The headline rate of 79.8% is the reliable figure here.

Across the year

SkyWest on DFW to CRP through the year

Jul–Sep 202511 flights—
Oct–Dec 202589 flights80.5%
Jan–Mar 202682 flights75.9%
Apr–Jun 2026107 flights81.4%

Scale runs 65% to 85%. 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 79.8% on time across 289 flights.

Quarter by quarter SkyWest on DFW to CRP held fairly steady: 80.5% in Oct–Dec 2025, 75.9% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 81.4% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 6 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

Across the week, Monday is the strongest day at 91.7% on time and Wednesday the weakest at 60.0%. 32 points is a smaller lever than departure hour, but it is free.

Delay causes

Why SkyWest runs late on this route

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 47% of the 3,705 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.

The largest share of delay minutes, 47%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. Unlike weather, that is a management outcome, and it is the category where the gap between two carriers on the same schedule is genuinely earned. It accounts for 1,730 of the 3,705 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 3,705 reported delay minutes.

Cancellations run at 5.54%, against 1.81% nationally. That is roughly 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

8.5% 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 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 2pm–5pm window matters as much as it does.

The return leg is a different operation and performs like one: it runs 74.5% on time across 289 flights, 5 points below 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. 289 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 DFW to CRP

Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 5.54% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you about an hour; a cancelled flight costs you the day. Book the 2pm–5pm departure so there is still a schedule behind you if it goes wrong, and treat a same-day connection as optimistic. 272 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
