Envoy on ORD to AVP 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 about an hour behind schedule. That rests on 666 flights, with a median arrival 6 minutes early.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate Envoy on ORD to AVP from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

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 666 flights.
- 5am–8am—
- 8am–11am9 flights—
- 11am–2pm61 flights77.0%
- 2pm–5pm239 flights74.7%
- 5pm–8pm119 flights69.6%
- 8pm–5am238 flights77.0%
Scale runs 60% to 80%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The best window here is not the first bank but the 11am–2pm slot at 77.0% on time, ahead of 5pm–8pm at 69.6%. 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 2pm–5pm window is the busiest, with 239 flights scheduled in it.
Across the year
Envoy on ORD to AVP through the year
January is the weak month at 55.9% on time, against 86.8% in September. Winter delays cluster: a single storm system can account for most of a month's shortfall, so an average December hides both very good weeks and genuinely unflyable days. March was the busiest month here, with 62 flights.
Across the week, Saturday is the strongest day at 80.6% on time and Sunday the weakest at 69.1%, a spread of 12 points.

The latest arrival of the period was on 2 April 2026, 4 hours 44 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. The five worst days are spread across April, November, January, March and July, with no single month standing out.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|

Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 54% of the 11,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 54%Late-arriving aircraft
- 17%Carrier
- 15%Extreme weather
- 14%National Airspace System
Extreme weather accounts for 15% 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 2.5 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 10,526 reported delay minutes.
54% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 11,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 4 to one.
Cancellations run at 2.70%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 40 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
8.0% 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 632 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 77.4% on time across 666 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. 666 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 ORD to AVP
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 666 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 74.8% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 648 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
