SkyWest on MLU to DFW sits in the middle of the pack with a C−. Close to three flights in four arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 3 points worse than the national rate of 77.3%. The late ones land close to two hours behind schedule. That rests on 131 flights, with a median arrival 3 minutes early.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate SkyWest on MLU to DFW from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

Departure window
When SkyWest 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 131 flights.
There are not enough flights in each departure window to split SkyWest's MLU to DFW record by time of day without the percentages moving on noise. The headline rate of 74.2% is the reliable figure here.

Delay causes
Why SkyWest runs late on this route
Extreme weather accounts for 43% of the 3,270 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 43%Extreme weather
- 32%Carrier
- 15%Late-arriving aircraft
- 10%National Airspace System
Extreme weather accounts for 43% 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 7.2 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 3,270 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations run at 5.34%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in twenty 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
10.5% 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 293 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 5pm–8pm window matters as much as it does.
The return leg runs 74.4% on time across 131 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. 131 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 SkyWest on MLU to DFW
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 5.34% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you close to two hours; a cancelled flight costs you the day. Book the 5pm–8pm departure so there is still a schedule behind you if it goes wrong, and treat a same-day connection as optimistic. 124 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
