Every carrier on DFW to OMA, 1,558 flights

These figures cover 183 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 OMA

Envoy flew 183 of the 1,558 flights on DFW to OMA, about 12% of it. Its 86.7% on time is 19 points better than the route as a whole, which runs 67.5%. Ranked by on-time rate it is first of four carriers on the route, where the range runs from Envoy at 86.7% 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.

  • 8am–11am34 flights94.1%
  • 11am–2pm5 flights—

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.

Fewer than three of those quarters carried the 30 completed flights this site needs before printing a rate, so the 86.7% annual figure is the one to use.

Across the week, Wednesday is the strongest day at 87.5% on time and Saturday the weakest at 75.8%, a spread of 12 points.

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 1,169 reported delay minutes.

  • National Airspace System
    40%
  • Late-arriving aircraft
    31%
  • Carrier
    23%
  • Extreme weather
    6%

40% 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 464 minutes out of 1,169, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 1,169 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 1.64% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and stage length

What a delay here costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.4% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% 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.

The return leg runs 83.8% on time across 183 flights, within 3 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. 183 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. 183 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 86.7% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 180 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
