These figures cover 152 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.

The worst days
Worst days for Envoy on DFW to VPS
The latest arrival of the period was on 10 May 2026, 3 hours behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. Three of the five worst days fell in May 2026.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 10 May 2026 | 3 hours | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 18 April 2026 | 1 hour 59 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 15 March 2026 | 1 hour 37 minutes | National Airspace System |

Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 57% of the 1,105 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 57%Late-arriving aircraft
- 33%National Airspace System
- 5%Carrier
- 5%Extreme weather
57% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 1,105 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 13 to one. The split is drawn from 1,105 reported delay minutes.
33% 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 366 minutes out of 1,105, against a national NAS share of 21%.
Cancellations are rare at 0.66%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
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 8.3% 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 641 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 is a different operation and performs like one: it runs 80.7% on time across 152 flights, 5 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 5 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 152 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 VPS
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 152 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 86.0% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 150 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
