Carrier by carrier
Envoy against every carrier on ORD to CAK
Envoy flew 230 of the 2,089 flights on ORD to CAK, about 11% of it. Its 69.4% on time is 6 points better than the route as a whole, which runs 63.6%. Ranked by on-time rate it is first of three carriers on the route, where the range runs from Envoy at 69.4% to PSA at 54.8%.
The choice of carrier is not cosmetic here. SkyWest Airlines arrives on time 64.9% of the time; PSA Airlines manages 54.8%. Sample sizes sit next to every figure, because a two-point gap across 380 flights means less than a ten-point one.

The 5pm–8pm window is where this operation falls apart: 57.4% on time, against 75.2% for the 2pm–5pm slot. By evening the aircraft flying these rotations have absorbed a full day of small delays and there is no slack left to recover in. The 2pm–5pm window is the busiest, with 108 flights scheduled in it.

16 of 71 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 23% of them. In the other direction, 13 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at CAK.

Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 63% of the 4,782 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 63%Late-arriving aircraft
- 17%Carrier
- 16%National Airspace System
- 4%Extreme weather
63% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 4,782 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 16 to one. The split is drawn from 4,782 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations run at 3.48%, 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
13.1% 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 344 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 2pm–5pm window matters as much as it does.
The return leg is a different operation and performs like one: it runs 75.2% on time across 229 flights, 6 points above this direction. Departure banks, aircraft rotations and the congestion at each end all differ, so scoring the two directions together would average away a real 6 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 230 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 CAK
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 3.48% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you a little over an hour; a cancelled flight costs you the day. Book the 2pm–5pm departure so there is still a schedule behind you if it goes wrong, and treat a same-day connection as optimistic. 222 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
