Every carrier on DFW to MLU, 1,166 flights
These figures cover 1,035 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 10 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 MLU
Envoy flew 1,035 of the 1,166 flights on DFW to MLU, most of the route. Its 87.0% on time is about level with the route as a whole at 85.6%. Ranked by on-time rate it is first of two carriers on the route, where the range runs from Envoy at 87.0% to SkyWest at 74.4%. 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.

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 10 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.
- 5am–8am—
- 8am–11am320 flights91.1%
- 11am–2pm140 flights92.6%
- 2pm–5pm223 flights84.2%
- 5pm–8pm1 flights—
- 8pm–5am351 flights82.6%
Scale runs 75% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The best window here is not the first bank but the 11am–2pm slot at 92.6% on time, ahead of 8pm–5am at 82.6%. Where the curve peaks mid-day rather than at dawn, the constraint is usually congestion at one end rather than the aircraft's own rotation. The 8pm–5am window is the busiest, with 351 flights scheduled in it.
Across the year
Envoy on DFW to MLU through the year

|---|---|---|
| 16 August 2026 | 9 hours 56 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 9,863 reported delay minutes.
- 39%Late-arriving aircraft
- 27%Carrier
- 20%Extreme weather
- 13%National Airspace System
- 0%Security
Extreme weather accounts for 20% 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 3.3 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 9,863 reported delay minutes.
39% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 9,863 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 2 to one.
Cancellations run at 2.51%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 40 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
5.1% 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 a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
At 293 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 11am–2pm window matters as much as it does.
The return leg runs 85.6% on time across 1,035 flights, within about 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. 1,035 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 MLU
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 1,035 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 87.0% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 1,004 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
