Historical statistics for September 2025 to August 2026, not live status. For today’s flights, check with PSA Airlines.
PSA on DFW to LBB sits in the middle of the pack with a B−. Close to three flights in four arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 2 points worse than the national rate of 77.3%. The late ones land an hour and a half behind schedule. That rests on 357 flights. The strongest carrier on the route with a full sample, Envoy Air, flew 1,570 at 85.3% on time.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate PSA on DFW to LBB 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 LBB
PSA flew 357 of the 2,617 flights on DFW to LBB, about 14% of it. Its 75.8% on time is 5 points worse than the route as a whole, which runs 80.9%. Ranked by on-time rate it is number three of four carriers on the route, where the range runs from Envoy at 85.3% to American at 65.2%. 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 85.3% of the time; SkyWest Airlines manages 78.8%. Sample sizes sit next to every figure, because a two-point gap across 402 flights means less than a ten-point one.
| Airline | Flights | On time | Avg delay | Cancelled | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Envoy Air | 1,570 | 85.3% | 63 min | 1.08% | A |
| SkyWest Airlines | 402 | 78.8% | 99 min | 3.73% | B− |

SkyWest Airlines cancels 3.7% 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.

Book the morning departure. Flights leaving between 8am–11am arrive on time 81.8% of the time, against 70.0% for the evening window. That is 12 points of difference for no extra money, and it comes from the same aircraft having had no earlier flight to fall behind on. The 2pm–5pm window is the busiest, with 117 flights scheduled in it.

The latest arrival of the period was on 13 March 2026, 5 hours 59 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). On four of the five worst days the largest share was filed as a late-arriving aircraft.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 13 March 2026 | 5 hours 59 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why PSA runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 58% of the 7,220 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 58%Late-arriving aircraft
- 25%Carrier
- 9%National Airspace System
- 8%Extreme weather
- 0%Security
58% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 7,220 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 7 to one. The split is drawn from 7,220 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 81.8% on time here.
Cancellations run at 6.16%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly one flight in fifteen 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
12.8% 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 282 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 75.1% on time across 357 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. 357 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 LBB
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 6.16% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you an hour and a half; 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. 335 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
