Every carrier on PHX to XNA, 827 flights
These figures cover 637 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 7 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 XNA
Envoy flew 637 of the 827 flights on PHX to XNA, most of the route. Its 85.2% on time is about level with the route as a whole at 84.0%. Ranked by on-time rate it is first of three carriers on the route, where the range runs from Envoy at 85.2% to SkyWest at 50.0%. Two 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 matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 11 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.
- 5am–8am—
- 8am–11am173 flights88.4%
- 11am–2pm108 flights91.7%
- 2pm–5pm305 flights80.5%
- 5pm–8pm49 flights87.8%
- 8pm–5am2 flights—
Scale runs 70% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The best window here is not the first bank but the 11am–2pm slot at 91.7% on time, ahead of 2pm–5pm at 80.5%. 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 305 flights scheduled in it.
Across the year
Envoy on PHX to XNA through the year
July is the worst month at 54.8% on time, 41 points below April, the best at 95.3%. Summer afternoon convection and peak-season schedules land on the same weeks every year, so this is a pattern you can book around rather than a run of bad luck. March was the busiest month here, with 91 flights.
Across the week, Thursday is the strongest day at 89.5% on time and Sunday the weakest at 78.9%, a spread of 11 points.

The worst days
Worst days for Envoy on PHX to XNA
The latest arrival of the period was on 26 April 2026, 5 hours 25 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. The same cause led on four of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 26 April 2026 | 5 hours 25 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 20 March 2026 | 2 hours 41 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 1 November 2025 | 2 hours 34 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 19 May 2026 | 2 hours 32 minutes | Carrier |
| 18 January 2026 | 2 hours 19 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 54% of the 4,903 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 54%Late-arriving aircraft
- 31%Carrier
- 14%National Airspace System
54% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 4,903 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 54 to one. The split is drawn from 4,903 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations are rare at 0.47%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is 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 4.3% 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 1,023 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 89.4% on time across 638 flights, 4 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 4 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 637 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 XNA
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 637 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 85.2% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 633 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
