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

PSA on SHV to DFW sits in the middle of the pack with a B−. Close to three flights in four arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 2 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land a little over an hour behind schedule. That rests on 234 flights. The strongest carrier on the route with a full sample, Envoy Air, flew 403 at 80.4% on time.

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

These figures cover 234 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 10.3% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.

Carrier by carrier

PSA against every carrier on SHV to DFW

PSA flew 234 of the 2,135 flights on SHV to DFW, about 11% of it. Its 75.8% on time is about level with the route as a whole at 75.3%. Ranked by on-time rate it is number two of three carriers on the route, where the range runs from Envoy at 80.4% to SkyWest at 73.8%.

The choice of carrier is not cosmetic here. Envoy Air arrives on time 80.4% of the time; SkyWest Airlines manages 73.8%. Sample sizes sit next to every figure, because a two-point gap across 1,498 flights means less than a ten-point one.

On-time performance by carrier on SHV to DFW
Airline	Flights	On time	Avg delay	Cancelled	Grade

Envoy Air cancels 5.0% of what it schedules here, the highest in the table. A cancelled flight never appears in an on-time rate, so read that column alongside the punctuality one rather than after it.

Departure window

When PSA runs best on this route

Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 19 points, against 7 points between the best and worst carrier. Each bar is the on-time rate for flights scheduled inside that window.

5am–8am—
8am–11am61 flights82.8%
11am–2pm128 flights77.2%
2pm–5pm—
5pm–8pm44 flights63.4%
8pm–5am1 flights—

Scale runs 55% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

The 5pm–8pm window is where this operation falls apart: 63.4% on time, against 82.8% for the 8am–11am 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 11am–2pm window is the busiest, with 128 flights scheduled in it.

Across the year

PSA on SHV to DFW through the year

Jul–Sep 202593 flights81.1%
Oct–Dec 202529 flights—
Apr–Jun 2026112 flights66.7%

Scale runs 60% to 85%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

Monthly volumes are too low here to break the year into twelve reliable readings. What the twelve-month total says is 75.8% on time across 234 flights.

Split by quarter, PSA on SHV to DFW logged 93 flights in Jul–Sep 2025, 29 flights in Oct–Dec 2025 and 112 flights in Apr–Jun 2026. Fewer than three of those quarters carried the 30 completed flights this site needs before printing a rate, so the 75.8% annual figure is the one to use.

Across the week, Thursday is the strongest day at 85.3% on time and Monday the weakest at 69.7%. 16 points is a smaller lever than departure hour, but it is free.

Delay causes

Why PSA runs late on this route

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 71% of the 4,342 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.

71% 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 4,342 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 10 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. The split is drawn from 4,342 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 82.8% on time here.

Cancellations run at 4.27%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about one flight in 25 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

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 10.3% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.

At 190 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 8am–11am window matters as much as it does.

The return leg runs 76.2% on time across 234 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. 234 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 PSA on SHV to DFW

Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 4.27% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you a little over an hour; a cancelled flight costs you the day. Book the 8am–11am departure so there is still a schedule behind you if it goes wrong, and treat a same-day connection as optimistic. 223 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
