Historical statistics for September 2025 to August 2026, not live status. For today’s flights, check with PSA Airlines.
PSA on JAN 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 close to two hours on average. That rests on 1,103 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate PSA on JAN to DFW from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

Across the year
PSA on JAN to DFW through the year
June is the worst month at 64.3% on time, 17 points below May, the best at 81.5%. Summer afternoon convection and peak-season schedules land on the same weeks every year, so this is a pattern you can book around rather than a run of bad luck. June was the busiest month here, with 147 flights.

The worst days
Worst days for PSA on JAN to DFW
The latest arrival of the period was on 20 November 2025, 21 hours 30 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. The five worst days are spread across November, May, April and June, with no single month standing out.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 20 November 2025 | 21 hours 30 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 19 May 2026 | 20 hours 16 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 16 April 2026 | 18 hours 18 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why PSA runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 51% of the 30,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 51%Late-arriving aircraft
- 23%Carrier
- 18%Extreme weather
- 8%National Airspace System
- 0%Security
Extreme weather accounts for 18% 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 2.9 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 29,863 reported delay minutes.
51% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 30,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 3 to one.
Cancellations run at 3.17%, 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
11.7% 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 408 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 73.1% on time across 1,102 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.
The sample behind these figures is 1,103 flights, enough that the headline rate is stable to within roughly a point. The hour-block and month splits divide that further, so read the thinner bars with more caution than the headline.
What to do with this
Booking PSA on JAN to DFW
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 3.17% 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. 1,065 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
