Envoy on DFW to OMA earns an A. Close to nine flights in ten arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 9 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs about 50 minutes. That rests on 196 flights, with a median arrival 10 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, Envoy's DFW to OMA record is 9 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 94 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

Every carrier on DFW to OMA, 1,580 flights
These figures cover 196 flights between July 2025 and June 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 OMA
Envoy flew 196 of the 1,580 flights on DFW to OMA, about 12% of it. Its 87.0% on time is 19 points better than the route as a whole, which runs 68.0%. Ranked by on-time rate it is first of four carriers on the route, where the range runs from Envoy at 87.0% to SkyWest at 60.0%. 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 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 13 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier. Each bar is the on-time rate for flights scheduled inside that window.
- 5am–8am72 flights91.7%
- 8am–11am34 flights94.1%
- 11am–2pm5 flights—
- 2pm–5pm80 flights80.8%
- 5pm–8pm—
- 8pm–5am5 flights—
Scale runs 70% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
Book the morning departure. Flights leaving between 8am–11am arrive on time 94.1% of the time, against 80.8% for the afternoon window. That is 13 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 80 flights scheduled in it.

Monthly volumes are too low here to break the year into twelve reliable readings. What the twelve-month total says is 87.0% on time across 196 flights.
Split by quarter, Envoy on DFW to OMA logged 66 flights in Jul–Sep 2025, 101 flights in Oct–Dec 2025, 22 flights in Jan–Mar 2026 and 7 flights in Apr–Jun 2026. Fewer than three of those quarters carried the 30 completed flights this site needs before printing a rate, so the 87.0% annual figure is the one to use.
Across the week, Wednesday is the strongest day at 86.1% on time and Saturday the weakest at 78.4%. 8 points is a smaller lever than departure hour, but it is free.
Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
One category carries most of the weight here. National Airspace System accounts for 43% of the 1,247 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.
- 43%National Airspace System
- 29%Late-arriving aircraft
- 22%Carrier
- 6%Extreme weather
43% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 542 minutes out of 1,247, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 1,247 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 94.1% on time here.
Cancellations sit at 1.53% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.7% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.
The 583 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. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.
The return leg is a different operation and performs like one: it runs 82.8% on time across 196 flights, 4 points below 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 4 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 196 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 OMA
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 196 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. 193 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
