Every carrier on DFW to GPT, 1,070 flights
These figures cover 766 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 10 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 GPT
Envoy flew 766 of the 1,070 flights on DFW to GPT, most of the route. Its 85.4% on time is 4 points better than the route as a whole, which runs 81.6%. Ranked by on-time rate it is first of two carriers on the route, where the range runs from Envoy at 85.4% to PSA at 71.4%. 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 19 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.
- 5am–8am—
- 8am–11am267 flights91.7%
- 11am–2pm86 flights94.0%
- 2pm–5pm119 flights83.8%
- 5pm–8pm112 flights75.0%
- 8pm–5am182 flights79.5%
Scale runs 65% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The best window here is not the first bank but the 11am–2pm slot at 94.0% on time, ahead of 5pm–8pm at 75.0%. 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 8am–11am window is the busiest, with 267 flights scheduled in it.
Across the year
Envoy on DFW to GPT through the year
July is the worst month at 76.4% on time, 24 points below February, the best at 100.0%. Summer afternoon convection and peak-season schedules land on the same weeks every year, so this is a pattern you can book around rather than a run of bad luck. August was the busiest month here, with 93 flights.
Across the week, Tuesday is the strongest day at 92.5% on time and Sunday the weakest at 79.8%, a spread of 13 points.

The worst days
Worst days for Envoy on DFW to GPT
The latest arrival of the period was on 13 July 2026, 3 hours 28 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. The same cause led on five of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 13 July 2026 | 3 hours 28 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 24 May 2026 | 3 hours 1 minute | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 52% of the 6,478 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 52%Late-arriving aircraft
- 22%National Airspace System
- 15%Carrier
- 12%Extreme weather
Extreme weather accounts for 12% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the monthly strip above is the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 1.9 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 6,478 reported delay minutes.
52% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 6,478 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 4 to one.
Cancellations sit at 2.22% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
5.9% 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 500 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 runs 85.9% on time across 766 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.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 766 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 GPT
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 766 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 85.4% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 749 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
