Historical statistics for September 2025 to August 2026, not live status. For today’s flights, check with Envoy Air.
Envoy on HSV to DFW lands a B, 3 points better than the national rate of 77.3%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by a little over an hour on average. That rests on 1,081 flights, with a median arrival 9 minutes early.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate Envoy on HSV to DFW from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

Every carrier on HSV to DFW, 2,079 flights
These figures cover 1,081 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 9 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 HSV to DFW
Envoy flew 1,081 of the 2,079 flights on HSV to DFW, most of the route. Its 80.2% on time is about level with the route as a whole at 78.8%. Ranked by on-time rate it is number two of four carriers on the route, where the range runs from SkyWest at 81.7% to American at 76.8%. 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–11am201 flights84.7%

Scale runs 65% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
Book the early departure. Flights leaving between 5am–8am arrive on time 86.6% of the time, against 73.9% for the evening 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 5pm–8pm window is the busiest, with 312 flights scheduled in it.
Across the year
Envoy on HSV to DFW through the year
January is the weak month at 72.2% on time, against 85.9% in December. 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 143 flights.
Across the week, Tuesday is the strongest day at 86.0% on time and Sunday the weakest at 74.1%, a spread of 12 points.

The latest arrival of the period was on 19 June 2026, 21 hours 12 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). Three of the five worst days fell in June 2026.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 19 June 2026 | 21 hours 12 minutes | Carrier |
| 15 June 2026 | 10 hours 42 minutes | Carrier |
| 8 March 2026 | 5 hours 43 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 44% of the 17,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 44%Late-arriving aircraft
- 34%Carrier
- 13%National Airspace System
- 10%Extreme weather
44% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 17,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 4 to one. The split is drawn from 16,567 reported delay minutes.
The practical consequence: the 5am–8am departure is the one that starts clean. Its aircraft has no earlier leg to be late from, which is exactly why that window shows 86.6% on time here.
Cancellations sit at 1.85% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.46%.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
7.3% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 603 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 83.2% on time across 1,083 flights, 3 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 3 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 1,081 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 HSV to DFW
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 1,081 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 80.2% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 1,056 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
