Historical statistics for September 2025 to August 2026, not live status. For today’s flights, check with PSA Airlines.
PSA on MLI 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 about 2.3 hours on average. That rests on 293 flights, with a median arrival 10 minutes early.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate PSA on MLI 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 MLI to DFW
PSA flew 293 of the 1,013 flights on MLI to DFW, about 29% of it. Its 76.3% on time is 8 points worse than the route as a whole, which runs 84.5%. Ranked by on-time rate it is last of three carriers on the route, where the range runs from Envoy at 88.2% to PSA at 76.3%. 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 PSA 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 293 flights.

Scale runs 65% to 85%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The early departures do better, though not dramatically: 81.2% on time for the 5am–8am window against 74.6% for 2pm–5pm. Worth taking if the schedule allows, not worth an extra connection. The 2pm–5pm window is the busiest, with 198 flights scheduled in it.

PSA on MLI to DFW did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 82.0% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 68.3%, a swing of 14 points on roughly 98 flights a quarter. The twelve-month rate averages over that, so if you are flying in a weak quarter the quarter's own figure is the better guide.

Delay causes
Why PSA 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 8,950 reported delay minutes.
- 35%Carrier
- 33%Late-arriving aircraft
- 20%Extreme weather
- 11%National Airspace System
- 0%Security
Extreme weather accounts for 20% 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 3.4 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 8,950 reported delay minutes.
The largest share of delay minutes, 35%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 3,152 of the 8,950 delay minutes reported here.
Cancellations run at 4.44%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly one flight in 25 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
11.8% 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.
The 691 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 runs 77.3% on time across 293 flights, within about 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. 293 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 MLI to DFW
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 4.44% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you about 2.3 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. 279 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
