Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s flights, check with Envoy Air.

Envoy on SGF to DFW lands a B, 2 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by a little over an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 2,613 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.

The US average over the same twelve months is 77.6%, so there is little to separate Envoy on SGF to DFW from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

Every carrier on SGF to DFW, 3,085 flights

These figures cover 2,613 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 8 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 SGF to DFW

Envoy flew 2,613 of the 3,085 flights on SGF to DFW, most of the route. Its 79.4% on time is about level with the route as a whole at 79.9%. Ranked by on-time rate it is number two of three carriers on the route, where the range runs from PSA at 84.7% to SkyWest at 78.0%. 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 26 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier. Each bar is the on-time rate for flights scheduled inside that window.

8am–11am698 flights82.7%
11am–2pm286 flights81.6%

5pm–8pm366 flights62.6%
8pm–5am18 flights—

Scale runs 55% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

The 5pm–8pm window is where this operation falls apart: 62.6% on time, against 88.5% for the 5am–8am 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 5am–8am window is the busiest, with 712 flights scheduled in it.

Across the year

Envoy on SGF to DFW through the year

Darker means more delays. Figures are on-time percentages.February best, June worst

June is the worst month at 72.2% on time, 20 points below February, the best at 91.9%. 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. October was the busiest month here, with 287 flights.

Across the week, Tuesday is the strongest day at 83.9% on time and Saturday the weakest at 72.5%. 11 points is a smaller lever than departure hour, but it is free.

Delay causes

Why Envoy runs late on this route

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 45% of the 41,000 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.

23%
Carrier
19%
Extreme weather
13%
Security
0%

Extreme weather accounts for 13% 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 2.1 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 40,602 reported delay minutes.

45% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 41,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 3 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit.

Cancellations sit at 1.88% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.23%.

Connections and stage length

What a delay here costs

7.4% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

At 364 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 5am–8am window matters as much as it does.

The return leg runs 80.5% on time across 2,615 flights, within about a point of this direction. The two legs are scored separately because they usually differ; on this city pair they happen not to.

The sample behind these figures is 2,613 flights, enough that the headline rate is stable to within roughly a point. The hour-block and month splits divide that further, so read the thinner bars with more caution than the headline.

What to do with this

Booking Envoy on SGF to DFW

Put together: the calendar is the biggest lever here, not the carrier or the hour. February runs 91.9% on time and June 72.2%, a swing of 20 points. If the dates move at all, move them out of June before you think about anything else. 2,558 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
