PSA on DFW to ICT sits in the middle of the pack with a C−. Close to three flights in four arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 4 points worse than the national rate of 77.3%. The late ones land a little over an hour behind schedule. That rests on 543 flights. The strongest carrier on the route with a full sample, Envoy Air, flew 1,388 at 82.5% on time.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate PSA on DFW to ICT 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 ICT
PSA flew 543 of the 2,419 flights on DFW to ICT, about 22% of it. Its 73.7% 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 84.1% to American at 57.7%. One of those carriers flew fewer than 365 flights here, so treat their positions as rough.
The choice of carrier is not cosmetic here. Envoy Air arrives on time 82.5% of the time; American Airlines manages 57.7%. Sample sizes sit next to every figure, because a two-point gap across 400 flights means less than a ten-point one.

| American Airlines | 400 | 57.7% | 98 min | 3.50% | D− |
American Airlines cancels 3.5% 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 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 29 points, against 25 points between the best and worst carrier.

- 8am–11am266 flights85.1%
- 11am–2pm—
- 2pm–5pm80 flights77.6%
- 5pm–8pm81 flights55.7%
- 8pm–5am116 flights57.0%
Scale runs 45% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The 5pm–8pm window is where this operation falls apart: 55.7% on time, against 85.1% for the 8am–11am 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 8am–11am window is the busiest, with 266 flights scheduled in it.

PSA on DFW to ICT did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 88.1% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 61.9%, a swing of 26 points on roughly 109 flights a quarter. The twelve-month rate averages over that, so if you are flying in a weak quarter the quarter's own figure is the better guide.
Across the week, Tuesday is the strongest day at 83.6% on time and Thursday the weakest at 65.8%, a spread of 18 points.
Arrival by arrival
How late PSA on DFW to ICT runs when it is late
PSA on DFW to ICT often beats the schedule: 163 of 517 completed flights, 32%, arrived 15 minutes or more early. The 136 late arrivals split 38 under half an hour, 41 between 30 and 60 minutes, and 57 an hour or more.

Share of 517 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
Time lost at the gate mostly stays lost. Of 112 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, only 5 made it up before arrival. In the other direction, 29 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at ICT.
The worst days
Worst days for PSA on DFW to ICT
The latest arrival of the period was on 21 June 2026, 5 hours 34 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 21 June 2026 | 5 hours 34 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 14 February 2026 | 5 hours 29 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 12 November 2025 | 5 hours | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 18 August 2026 | 4 hours 29 minutes | Carrier |
| 3 December 2025 | 4 hours 26 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
Delay causes
Why PSA runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 51% of the 9,736 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 51%Late-arriving aircraft
- 25%Carrier
- 15%National Airspace System
- 8%Extreme weather
51% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 9,736 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 6 to one. The split is drawn from 9,736 reported delay minutes.
The practical consequence: the 8am–11am departure is the one that starts clean. Its aircraft has no earlier leg to be late from, which is exactly why that window shows 85.1% on time here.
Cancellations run at 4.42%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly 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
11.0% 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.
At 328 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 is a different operation and performs like one: it runs 82.1% on time across 544 flights, 8 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 8 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 543 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 ICT
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 4.42% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you a little over 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. 517 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
