Historical statistics for September 2025 to August 2026, not live status. For today’s flights, check with PSA Airlines.
PSA on HSV to DFW carries a cancellation problem, not just a delay problem: 4.9% of scheduled flights never operate, against 1.9% nationally. Of the ones that do fly, close to three flights in four arrive on time, worth a B− overall. The punctuality figure counts only flights that actually departed, so it flatters an operation that cancels this often. That rests on 737 flights, with a median arrival 12 minutes early.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate PSA on HSV to DFW from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

Carrier by carrier
PSA against every carrier on HSV to DFW
PSA flew 737 of the 2,079 flights on HSV to DFW, about 35% of it. Its 76.9% on time is 2 points worse than the route as a whole, which runs 78.8%. Ranked by on-time rate it is number three 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 PSA runs best on this route
Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 18 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.

- 8am–11am110 flights82.2%
- 11am–2pm182 flights65.3%

Scale runs 55% to 90%. 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 65.3% on time against 83.0% 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 321 flights scheduled in it.

The worst days
Worst days for PSA on HSV to DFW
The latest arrival of the period was on 26 December 2025, 24 hours 9 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. The five worst days are spread across December, January, March and September, with no single month standing out.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 26 December 2025 | 24 hours 9 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 25 January 2026 | 21 hours 56 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 7 March 2026 | 21 hours 8 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why PSA runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 50% of the 23,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 50%Late-arriving aircraft
- 32%Carrier
- 12%Extreme weather
- 5%National Airspace System
- 0%Security
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 2.1 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 23,255 reported delay minutes.
50% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 23,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 4 to one.
Cancellations run at 4.88%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in twenty 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
12.2% 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 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 73.6% on time across 738 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. 737 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 PSA on HSV to DFW
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 4.88% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you about 2.4 hours; 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. 698 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
