Historical statistics for September 2025 to August 2026, not live status. For today’s flights, check with Envoy Air.
Envoy on DFW to GRK carries a cancellation problem, not just a delay problem: 3.7% of scheduled flights never operate, against 1.9% nationally. Of the ones that do fly, about four flights in five arrive on time, worth a B− overall. The punctuality figure counts only flights that actually departed, so it flatters an operation that cancels this often. That rests on 1,342 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, Envoy's DFW to GRK record is 4 points better than the US average of 77.3%. That gap is worth roughly 44 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 1,342 flights between September 2025 and August 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.

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 13 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.
- 5am–8am—
- 8am–11am315 flights90.6%
- 11am–2pm242 flights77.8%
- 2pm–5pm219 flights81.2%
- 5pm–8pm188 flights79.2%
- 8pm–5am378 flights78.3%
Scale runs 70% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The weak window here is the middle of the day, not the evening: 11am–2pm runs 77.8% on time against 90.6% for 8am–11am. That shape usually means a departure bank rather than an accumulating delay, so the recovery later in the afternoon is real rather than noise. The 8pm–5am window is the busiest, with 378 flights scheduled in it.
Across the year
Envoy on DFW to GRK through the year
June is the worst month at 71.9% on time, 21 points below February, the best at 92.6%. 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. July was the busiest month here, with 176 flights.
Across the week, Tuesday is the strongest day at 89.0% on time and Sunday the weakest at 74.0%, a spread of 15 points.

The worst days
Worst days for Envoy on DFW to GRK
The latest arrival of the period was on 19 August 2026, 12 hours 37 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The five worst days are spread across August, November, May, October and June, with no single month standing out.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 19 August 2026 | 12 hours 37 minutes | Carrier |
| 20 November 2025 | 10 hours 25 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 10 May 2026 | 4 hours 30 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 24 October 2025 | 3 hours 40 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 7 June 2026 | 3 hours 22 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 49% of the 14,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 49%Late-arriving aircraft
- 24%Carrier
- 13%Extreme weather
- 13%National Airspace System
- 0%Security
Extreme weather accounts for 13% 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 2.2 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 13,999 reported delay minutes.
49% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 14,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 4 to one.
Cancellations run at 3.73%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 25 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
6.5% 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.
At 134 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 83.4% on time across 1,341 flights, within 2 points 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 1,342 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 GRK
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 3.73% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you about an hour; a cancelled flight costs you the day. Book the 8am–11am departure so there is still a schedule behind you if it goes wrong, and treat a same-day connection as optimistic. 1,291 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
