Historical statistics for September 2025 to August 2026, not live status. For today’s flights, check with PSA Airlines.
PSA on LBB to DFW sits in the middle of the pack with a B−. Close to three flights in four arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 2 points worse than the national rate of 77.3%. The late ones land about 2.1 hours behind schedule. That rests on 357 flights. The strongest carrier on the route with a full sample, Envoy Air, flew 1,571 at 86.7% on time.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate PSA on LBB 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 LBB to DFW
PSA flew 357 of the 2,617 flights on LBB to DFW, about 14% of it. Its 75.1% on time is 9 points worse than the route as a whole, which runs 84.1%. Ranked by on-time rate it is last of four carriers on the route, where the range runs from American at 87.0% to PSA at 75.1%. 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 86.7% of the time; SkyWest Airlines manages 79.2%. Sample sizes sit next to every figure, because a two-point gap across 400 flights means less than a ten-point one.

Envoy leads SkyWest by 8 points. Real, but small enough that a better departure time on the weaker carrier can outweigh it.

Book the early departure. Flights leaving between 5am–8am arrive on time 89.1% of the time, against 67.6% for the evening window. That is 22 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 163 flights scheduled in it.

The latest arrival of the period was on 3 April 2026, 20 hours 12 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as extreme weather. Three of the five worst days fell in March 2026.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |

Delay causes
Why PSA runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 56% of the 10,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 56%Late-arriving aircraft
- 20%Carrier
- 19%Extreme weather
- 6%National Airspace System
Extreme weather accounts for 19% 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 3.1 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 10,445 reported delay minutes.
56% 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 3 to one.
Cancellations run at 5.88%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly one flight in fifteen 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
13.8% 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 282 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 runs 75.8% on time across 357 flights, within half a point 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. 357 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 LBB to DFW
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 5.88% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you about 2.1 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. 334 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
