Every carrier on PHX to FAT, 1,476 flights
These figures cover 147 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 12 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.

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 147 flights.
There are not enough flights in each departure window to split Envoy's PHX to FAT record by time of day without the percentages moving on noise. The headline rate of 87.8% is the reliable figure here.

Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 85% of the 1,007 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 85%Late-arriving aircraft
- 11%Carrier
- 4%National Airspace System
85% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 1,007 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 85 to one. The split is drawn from 1,007 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations are rare at 0.00%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Almost no flights are called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 2.7% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.
At 493 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 runs 87.7% on time across 147 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. 147 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 PHX to FAT
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 147 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 87.8% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 147 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
