Historical statistics for September 2025 to August 2026, not live status. For today’s flights, check with Envoy Air.
Envoy on MIA to TPA lands a B−, 4 points better than the national rate of 77.3%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by roughly 55 minutes on average. That rests on 393 flights, with a median arrival 5 minutes early.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate Envoy on MIA to TPA from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

These figures cover 393 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 5 minutes early, which is the part an average hides: most flights here are fine, and the on-time rate is decided by a tail of badly late ones. On-time means under 15 minutes late, the DOT's own threshold.

Carrier by carrier
Envoy against every carrier on MIA to TPA
Envoy flew 393 of the 2,927 flights on MIA to TPA, about 13% of it. Its 80.9% on time is 9 points better than the route as a whole, which runs 71.5%. Ranked by on-time rate it is first of three carriers on the route, where the range runs from Envoy at 80.9% to Republic at 62.5%. 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 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 393 flights.
- 5am–8am—
- 8am–11am23 flights—
- 11am–2pm5 flights—
- 2pm–5pm179 flights84.6%
- 5pm–8pm182 flights75.6%
- 8pm–5am4 flights—
Scale runs 65% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The best window here is not the first bank but the 2pm–5pm slot at 84.6% on time, ahead of 5pm–8pm at 75.6%. 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 5pm–8pm window is the busiest, with 182 flights scheduled in it.

Monthly volumes are too low here to break the year into twelve reliable readings. What the twelve-month total says is 80.9% on time across 393 flights.
Quarter by quarter Envoy on MIA to TPA held fairly steady: 83.8% in Oct–Dec 2025, 82.5% in Jan–Mar 2026, 83.6% in Apr–Jun 2026 and 75.0% in Jul–Sep 2026. A spread of 9 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.
Across the week, Tuesday is the strongest day at 87.5% on time and Thursday the weakest at 69.4%, a spread of 18 points.

Share of 377 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
Time lost at the gate mostly stays lost. Of 59 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, only 7 made it up before arrival. In the other direction, 20 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 TPA.
The worst days
Worst days for Envoy on MIA to TPA
The latest arrival of the period was on 23 May 2026, 3 hours 23 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The five worst days are spread across May, September, July, March and August, with no single month standing out.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 23 May 2026 | 3 hours 23 minutes | Carrier |
| 28 September 2025 | 2 hours 42 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 10 July 2026 | 2 hours 42 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 29 March 2026 | 2 hours 35 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 4 August 2026 | 2 hours 28 minutes | National Airspace System |
Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 3,789 reported delay minutes.
- 31%National Airspace System
- 28%Carrier
- 28%Late-arriving aircraft
- 13%Extreme weather
Extreme weather accounts for 13% 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 2.1 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 3,789 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations run at 3.56%, 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
5.3% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last roughly 55 minutes, which a normal layover absorbs.
At 204 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 2pm–5pm window matters as much as it does.
The return leg is a different operation and performs like one: it runs 70.9% on time across 392 flights, 10 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 10 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 393 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 MIA to TPA
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 3.56% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you roughly 55 minutes; a cancelled flight costs you the day. Book the 2pm–5pm departure so there is still a schedule behind you if it goes wrong, and treat a same-day connection as optimistic. 377 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
