PSA on DFW to HSV carries a cancellation problem, not just a delay problem: 4.5% of scheduled flights never operate, against 1.9% nationally. Of the ones that do fly, close to three flights in four arrive on time, worth a C− overall. The punctuality figure counts only flights that actually departed, so it flatters an operation that cancels this often. That rests on 738 flights, with a median arrival 7 minutes early.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate PSA on DFW to HSV from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

Carrier by carrier
PSA against every carrier on DFW to HSV
PSA flew 738 of the 2,080 flights on DFW to HSV, about 35% of it. Its 73.6% on time is 3 points worse than the route as a whole, which runs 76.5%. Ranked by on-time rate it is number three of four carriers on the route, where the range runs from SkyWest at 85.9% to American at 44.8%. Two 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 16 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.

The 8pm–5am window is where this operation falls apart: 62.8% on time, against 79.2% for the 2pm–5pm 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 5pm–8pm window is the busiest, with 236 flights scheduled in it.

The worst days
Worst days for PSA on DFW to HSV
The latest arrival of the period was on 1 December 2025, 16 hours 30 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. The same cause led on three of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 1 December 2025 | 16 hours 30 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 11 November 2025 | 11 hours 29 minutes | Carrier |
| 9 November 2025 | 7 hours 33 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 7 March 2026 | 6 hours 23 minutes | Extreme weather |

Delay causes
Why PSA runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 57% of the 17,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 57%Late-arriving aircraft
- 30%Carrier
- 8%National Airspace System
- 6%Extreme weather
57% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 17,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 10 to one. The split is drawn from 17,191 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations run at 4.47%, against 1.89% 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
13.0% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The 603 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 is a different operation and performs like one: it runs 76.9% on time across 737 flights, 3 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 3 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 738 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 HSV
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 4.47% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you an hour and a half; 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. 701 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
