Historical statistics for September 2025 to August 2026, not live status. For today’s flights, check with PSA Airlines.
PSA on MOB to DFW 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 an hour and a half on average. That rests on 502 flights, with a median arrival 9 minutes early.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate PSA on MOB 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 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 502 flights.
- 5am–8am239 flights83.7%
- 8am–11am40 flights87.2%
- 11am–2pm175 flights77.6%
- 2pm–5pm30 flights—
- 5pm–8pm18 flights—
- 8pm–5am—
Scale runs 70% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The weak window here is the middle of the day, not the evening: 11am–2pm runs 77.6% on time against 87.2% for 8am–11am. That shape usually means a departure bank rather than an accumulating delay, so the recovery later in the afternoon is real rather than noise. The 5am–8am window is the busiest, with 239 flights scheduled in it.

Delay causes
Why PSA runs late on this route
Carrier accounts for 57% of the 8,504 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 57%Carrier
- 24%Late-arriving aircraft
- 12%Extreme weather
- 8%National Airspace System
Extreme weather accounts for 12% 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 1.9 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 8,504 reported delay minutes.
The largest share of delay minutes, 57%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 4,821 of the 8,504 delay minutes reported here.
Cancellations run at 3.59%, 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
8.1% 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 an hour and a half, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 539 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 78.3% on time across 502 flights, within 3 points 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. 502 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 MOB to DFW
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 3.59% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you an hour and a half; a cancelled flight costs you the day. Book the 8am–11am departure so there is still a schedule behind you if it goes wrong, and treat a same-day connection as optimistic. 480 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
