These figures cover 710 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 12 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 GJT to DFW
Envoy flew 710 of the 1,043 flights on GJT to DFW, most of the route. Its 86.8% on time is 3 points better than the route as a whole, which runs 83.4%. Ranked by on-time rate it is first of two carriers on the route, where the range runs from Envoy at 86.8% to SkyWest at 76.0%. 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 17 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.
- 5am–8am262 flights94.2%
- 8am–11am114 flights89.4%
- 11am–2pm143 flights77.7%
- 2pm–5pm127 flights80.0%
- 5pm–8pm64 flights85.5%
- 8pm–5am—
Scale runs 70% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The weak window here is the middle of the day, not the evening: 11am–2pm runs 77.7% on time against 94.2% for 5am–8am. That shape usually means a departure bank rather than an accumulating delay, so the recovery later in the afternoon is real rather than noise. The 5am–8am window is the busiest, with 262 flights scheduled in it.

Worst days for Envoy on GJT to DFW
The latest arrival of the period was on 27 January 2026, 8 hours 10 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. The same cause led on three of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 27 January 2026 | 8 hours 10 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 28 October 2025 | 5 hours 45 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 26 January 2026 | 3 hours 24 minutes | Extreme weather |

Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 45% of the 5,249 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 45%Late-arriving aircraft
- 24%Carrier
- 17%National Airspace System
- 14%Extreme weather
- 0%Security
Extreme weather accounts for 14% 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 2.4 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 5,249 reported delay minutes.
45% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 5,249 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 3 to one.
Cancellations sit at 1.13% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.42%.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.0% 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 772 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 83.6% on time across 710 flights, 3 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 3 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 710 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 GJT to DFW
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 710 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 86.8% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 699 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
