These figures cover 183 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 9 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.

The best window here is not the first bank but the 11am–2pm slot at 91.2% on time, ahead of 5pm–8pm at 77.9%. 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 80 flights scheduled in it.

| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 2 October 2025 | 4 hours 54 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 65% of the 1,925 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 65%Late-arriving aircraft
- 19%Carrier
- 16%National Airspace System
65% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 1,925 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 65 to one. The split is drawn from 1,925 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations sit at 1.64% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.55%.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
6.7% 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 about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 583 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 86.7% on time across 183 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. 183 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 OMA to DFW
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 183 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 83.8% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 179 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
