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

PSA on SRQ to CLT lands a B+, about a point better than the national rate of 77.3%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by an hour and a half on average. That rests on 272 flights, with a median arrival 9 minutes early.

The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate PSA on SRQ to CLT from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

Carrier by carrier

PSA against every carrier on SRQ to CLT

PSA flew 272 of the 1,345 flights on SRQ to CLT, about 20% of it. Its 78.5% on time is 7 points worse than the route as a whole, which runs 85.6%. Ranked by on-time rate it is number two of three carriers on the route, where the range runs from American at 89.2% to Envoy at 75.7%. 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 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 16 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.

The best window here is not the first bank but the 11am–2pm slot at 83.1% on time, ahead of 5pm–8pm at 67.4%. 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 11am–2pm window is the busiest, with 148 flights scheduled in it.

Monthly volumes are too low here to break the year into twelve reliable readings. What the twelve-month total says is 78.5% on time across 272 flights.

PSA on SRQ to CLT did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 90.0% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 55.3%, a swing of 35 points on roughly 68 flights a quarter. The twelve-month rate averages over that, so if you are flying in a weak quarter the quarter's own figure is the better guide.

Across the week, Wednesday is the strongest day at 90.9% on time and Sunday the weakest at 66.7%, a spread of 24 points.

Delay causes

Why PSA runs late on this route

Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 57% of the 5,184 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.

Extreme weather accounts for 28% 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 4.6 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 5,184 reported delay minutes.

57% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 5,184 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 2 to one.

Cancellations are rare at 0.37%, 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

8.5% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last an hour and a half, which a normal layover absorbs.

The 547 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 runs 79.3% on time across 272 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.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 272 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 SRQ to CLT

Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 272 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 78.5% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 270 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
