Every carrier on PHX to MRY, 1,369 flights

These figures cover 231 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 10 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.

Carrier by carrier

Envoy against every carrier on PHX to MRY

Envoy flew 231 of the 1,369 flights on PHX to MRY, about 17% of it. Its 88.5% on time is 8 points better than the route as a whole, which runs 80.2%. Ranked by on-time rate it is first of three carriers on the route, where the range runs from Envoy at 88.5% to American at 78.1%. One of those carriers flew fewer than 365 flights here, so treat their positions as rough.

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 231 flights.

5am–8am2 flights—
8am–11am116 flights89.7%
11am–2pm46 flights83.7%
2pm–5pm40 flights89.7%
5pm–8pm27 flights—
8pm–5am—

Scale runs 75% 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 83.7% on time against 89.7% 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 8am–11am window is the busiest, with 116 flights scheduled in it.

Delay causes

Why Envoy runs late on this route

Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 962 reported delay minutes.

Carrier
35%
Late-arriving aircraft
33%
National Airspace System
30%
Security
3%

The largest share of delay minutes, 35%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 332 of the 962 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 962 reported delay minutes.

The practical consequence: the 8am–11am departure is the one that starts clean. Its aircraft has no earlier leg to be late from, which is exactly why that window shows 89.7% on time here.

Cancellations sit at 1.73% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.43%.

Connections and stage length

What a delay here costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 1.3% 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.

The 598 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 is a different operation and performs like one: it runs 84.6% on time across 231 flights, 4 points below 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 4 points of difference.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 231 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 MRY

Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 231 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 88.5% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 226 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
