Historical statistics for September 2025 to August 2026, not live status. For today’s flights, check with Envoy Air.
Envoy on DFW to JAN lands a B, 3 points better than the national rate of 77.3%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by about an hour on average. That rests on 654 flights, with a median arrival 6 minutes early.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate Envoy on DFW to JAN from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

These figures cover 654 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 6 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 JAN
Envoy flew 654 of the 1,905 flights on DFW to JAN, about 34% of it. Its 80.2% on time is 5 points better than the route as a whole, which runs 75.6%. Ranked by on-time rate it is first of three carriers on the route, where the range runs from Envoy at 80.2% to PSA at 73.1%. 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.

Book the morning departure. Flights leaving between 8am–11am arrive on time 94.3% of the time, against 72.8% for the overnight window. That is 22 points of difference for no extra money, and it comes from the same aircraft having had no earlier flight to fall behind on.

Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 48% of the 7,475 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 48%Late-arriving aircraft
- 28%National Airspace System
- 13%Carrier
- 11%Extreme weather
- 0%Security
48% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 7,475 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 4 to one. The split is drawn from 7,475 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 94.3% on time here.
Cancellations sit at 1.99% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.15%.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
6.7% 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 408 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 82.2% on time across 653 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.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 654 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 JAN
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 654 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 80.2% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 640 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
