Carrier by carrier
Republic against every carrier on LGA to OKC
Republic flew 634 of the 743 flights on LGA to OKC, most of the route. Its 73.2% on time is 2 points better than the route as a whole, which runs 71.7%. Ranked by on-time rate it is first of two carriers on the route, where the range runs from Republic at 73.2% to SkyWest at 63.5%. One 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 Republic runs best on this route
Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 20 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.
- 5am–8am168 flights82.3%
- 8am–11am21 flights—
- 11am–2pm142 flights80.7%
- 2pm–5pm8 flights—
- 5pm–8pm277 flights62.3%
- 8pm–5am18 flights—
Scale runs 55% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The 5pm–8pm window is where this operation falls apart: 62.3% on time, against 82.3% for the 5am–8am slot. By evening the aircraft flying these rotations have absorbed a full day of small delays and there is no slack left to recover in. The 5pm–8pm window is the busiest, with 277 flights scheduled in it.
Across the year
Republic on LGA to OKC through the year
December is the weak month at 57.7% on time, against 91.7% in April. 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. August was the busiest month here, with 57 flights.
Across the week, Saturday is the strongest day at 88.4% on time and Thursday the weakest at 65.2%, a spread of 23 points.

Share of 579 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
23 of 138 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 17% of them. In the other direction, 40 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at OKC.
The worst days
Worst days for Republic on LGA to OKC
The latest arrival of the period was on 19 September 2025, 12 hours 34 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as national airspace system delay. On three of the five worst days the largest share was filed as a late-arriving aircraft.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 19 September 2025 | 12 hours 34 minutes | National Airspace System |
| 8 June 2026 | 8 hours 26 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 10 July 2026 | 6 hours 11 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why Republic runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 48% of the 12,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 48%Late-arriving aircraft
- 30%National Airspace System
- 18%Carrier
- 4%Extreme weather
48% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 12,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 11 to one. The split is drawn from 11,663 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 82.3% on time here.
Cancellations run at 7.10%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about 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
10.7% 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.
The 1,341 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 78.1% on time across 634 flights, 5 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 5 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 634 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 Republic on LGA to OKC
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 7.10% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you a little over an hour; 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. 579 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
