Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s flights, check with Envoy Air.
Envoy on MGM 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 77.6%. The late ones land a little over an hour behind schedule. That rests on 231 flights, with a median arrival 5 minutes early.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.6%, so there is little to separate Envoy on MGM to DFW from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

These figures cover 231 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 9.0% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.
Carrier by carrier
Envoy against every carrier on MGM to DFW
Envoy flew 231 of the 1,062 flights on MGM to DFW, about 22% of it. Its 75.3% on time is about level with the route as a whole at 74.5%. Ranked by on-time rate it is first of three carriers on the route, where the range runs from Envoy at 75.3% to PSA at 74.3%. 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 Envoy runs best on this route
Departure time is the single lever a traveller controls, and it moves the odds more than most people expect. Each bar below is the on-time rate for flights scheduled to leave inside that window, across 231 flights.
- 5am–8am38 flights66.7%
- 8am–11am—
- 11am–2pm158 flights76.0%
- 2pm–5pm16 flights—
- 5pm–8pm19 flights—
- 8pm–5am—
Scale runs 60% to 80%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The best window here is not the first bank but the 11am–2pm slot at 76.0% on time, ahead of 5am–8am at 66.7%. Where the curve peaks mid-day rather than at dawn, the constraint is usually congestion at one end rather than the aircraft's own rotation. The 11am–2pm window is the busiest, with 158 flights scheduled in it.

- Jul–Sep 2025147 flights73.9%

Monthly volumes are too low here to break the year into twelve reliable readings. What the twelve-month total says is 75.3% on time across 231 flights.
Quarter by quarter Envoy on MGM to DFW held fairly steady: 73.9% in Jul–Sep 2025, 81.4% in Oct–Dec 2025 and 73.7% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 8 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.
Across the week, Thursday is the strongest day at 85.3% on time and Monday the weakest at 68.8%. 17 points is a smaller lever than departure hour, but it is free.
Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 60% of the 3,911 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.
- 60%Late-arriving aircraft
- 22%National Airspace System
- 14%Carrier
- 4%Extreme weather
60% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 3,911 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 14 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 3,911 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations sit at 2.16% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 1.30%.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 9.0% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The 622 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. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.
The return leg is a different operation and performs like one: it runs 84.0% on time across 231 flights, 9 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 9 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 231 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 Envoy on MGM to DFW
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 231 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor and not enough to be confident to better than a couple of points. The 75.3% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 223 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
