Carrier by carrier
SkyWest against every carrier on GSP to ORD
SkyWest flew 630 of the 1,870 flights on GSP to ORD, about 34% of it. Its 71.4% on time is 5 points worse than the route as a whole, which runs 75.9%. Ranked by on-time rate it is last of six carriers on the route, where the range runs from United at 100.0% to SkyWest at 71.4%.

Departure window
When SkyWest runs best on this route
Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 29 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.
- 5am–8am174 flights86.9%
- 8am–11am112 flights78.4%
- 11am–2pm28 flights—
- 2pm–5pm28 flights—
- 5pm–8pm288 flights58.1%
- 8pm–5am—
Scale runs 50% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The 5pm–8pm window is where this operation falls apart: 58.1% on time, against 86.9% for the 5am–8am slot. By evening the aircraft flying these rotations have absorbed a full day of small delays and there is no slack left to recover in. The 5pm–8pm window is the busiest, with 288 flights scheduled in it.
Across the year
SkyWest on GSP to ORD through the year
December is the weak month at 46.7% on time, against 87.1% in January. Winter delays cluster: a single storm system can account for most of a month's shortfall, so an average December hides both very good weeks and genuinely unflyable days. July was the busiest month here, with 93 flights.
Across the week, Saturday is the strongest day at 75.9% on time and Sunday the weakest at 64.0%, a spread of 12 points.

Share of 602 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
Time lost at the gate mostly stays lost. Of 127 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, only 14 made it up before arrival. In the other direction, 59 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at ORD.
The worst days
Worst days for SkyWest on GSP to ORD
The latest arrival of the period was on 18 March 2026, 19 hours 57 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The five worst days are spread across March, June and November, with no single month standing out.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 18 March 2026 | 19 hours 57 minutes | Carrier |
| 18 June 2026 | 7 hours 15 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 9 November 2025 | 6 hours 30 minutes | National Airspace System |
| 30 November 2025 | 4 hours 55 minutes | Carrier |
| 25 June 2026 | 4 hours 53 minutes | National Airspace System |
Delay causes
Why SkyWest 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 14,000 reported delay minutes.
- 36%Carrier
- 32%National Airspace System
- 21%Late-arriving aircraft
- 12%Extreme weather
Extreme weather accounts for 12% 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 2.0 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 13,567 reported delay minutes.
The largest share of delay minutes, 36%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 4,828 of the 14,000 delay minutes reported here.
Cancellations run at 3.97%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 25 cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
11.0% 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 577 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 69.0% on time across 630 flights, within 2 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. 630 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 GSP to ORD
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 3.97% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you a little over an hour; a cancelled flight costs you the day. Book the 5am–8am departure so there is still a schedule behind you if it goes wrong, and treat a same-day connection as optimistic. 602 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
