Carrier by carrier
PSA against every carrier on ICT to DFW
PSA flew 544 of the 2,421 flights on ICT to DFW, about 22% of it. Its 82.1% on time is 2 points better than the route as a whole, which runs 79.9%. Ranked by on-time rate it is number two of four carriers on the route, where the range runs from SkyWest at 85.2% to American at 68.0%. One of those carriers flew fewer than 365 flights here, so treat their positions as rough.
The choice of carrier is not cosmetic here. Envoy Air arrives on time 82.0% of the time; American Airlines manages 68.0%. Sample sizes sit next to every figure, because a two-point gap across 399 flights means less than a ten-point one.

American Airlines cancels 3.5% of what it schedules here, the highest in the table. A cancelled flight never appears in an on-time rate, so read that column alongside the punctuality one rather than after it.

Book the early departure. Flights leaving between 5am–8am arrive on time 93.8% of the time, against 72.4% for the evening window. That is 21 points of difference for no extra money, and it comes from the same aircraft having had no earlier flight to fall behind on.

Worst days for PSA on ICT to DFW
The latest arrival of the period was on 25 October 2025, 27 hours 16 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. Three of the five worst days fell in June 2026.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 25 October 2025 | 27 hours 16 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why PSA runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 63% of the 10,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 63%Late-arriving aircraft
- 23%Carrier
- 9%National Airspace System
- 5%Extreme weather
63% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 10,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 13 to one. The split is drawn from 10,496 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 93.8% on time here.
Cancellations run at 3.31%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 30 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
9.2% 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.
At 328 miles this is a short hop, and stage length matters more than it looks. A flight this short spends under two hours in the air, which leaves almost nothing to claw back a late pushback with. Delay here is decided on the ground, in the turn, which is why the 5am–8am window matters as much as it does.
The return leg is a different operation and performs like one: it runs 73.7% on time across 543 flights, 8 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 8 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 544 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 ICT to DFW
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 3.31% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you close to two 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. 524 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
