SkyWest on GJT to DFW lands a B, about a point worse than the national rate of 77.3%. About one flight in four arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by an hour and a half on average. That rests on 333 flights, with a median arrival 15 minutes early.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate SkyWest on GJT to DFW from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

| 30 June 2026 | 16 hours 15 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why SkyWest runs late on this route
Carrier accounts for 52% of the 7,053 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 52%Carrier
- 22%Late-arriving aircraft
- 16%Extreme weather
- 9%National Airspace System
Extreme weather accounts for 16% 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 2.7 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 7,053 reported delay minutes.
The largest share of delay minutes, 52%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 3,663 of the 7,053 delay minutes reported here.
Cancellations sit at 1.50% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.90%.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
10.2% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
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 81.7% on time across 334 flights, 6 points above 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 6 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 333 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 SkyWest on GJT to DFW
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 333 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 76.0% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 325 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
