Historical statistics for September 2025 to August 2026, not live status. For today’s flights, check with Republic Airways.
Republic on SRQ to EWR lands a B−, 2 points 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 close to two hours on average. That rests on 137 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.
The US average over the same twelve months is 77.3%, so there is little to separate Republic on SRQ to EWR from the country as a whole. The variation that matters here is internal: which carrier, and what time of day.

Departure window
When Republic 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 137 flights.
There are not enough flights in each departure window to split Republic's SRQ to EWR record by time of day without the percentages moving on noise. The headline rate of 78.9% is the reliable figure here.

Scale runs 65% to 90%. 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 78.9% on time across 137 flights.
Split by quarter, Republic on SRQ to EWR logged 49 flights in Oct–Dec 2025, 70 flights in Jan–Mar 2026, 11 flights in Apr–Jun 2026 and 7 flights in Jul–Sep 2026. Fewer than three of those quarters carried the 30 completed flights this site needs before printing a rate, so the 78.9% annual figure is the one to use.

Share of 123 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
8 of 27 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 30% of them. In the other direction, 7 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at EWR.
The worst days
Worst days for Republic on SRQ to EWR
The latest arrival of the period was on 14 January 2026, 16 hours 14 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The five worst days are spread across January, December, February and October, with no single month standing out.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 14 January 2026 | 16 hours 14 minutes | Carrier |
| 27 December 2025 | 7 hours 34 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 2 February 2026 | 6 hours 3 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 31 October 2025 | 1 hour 57 minutes | National Airspace System |

Delay causes
Why Republic runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 50% of the 2,969 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 50%Late-arriving aircraft
- 25%Carrier
- 23%National Airspace System
- 2%Extreme weather
50% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 2,969 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 28 to one. The split is drawn from 2,969 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations run at 10.22%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in ten 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
8.1% 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 close to two hours, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 1,034 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 85.9% on time across 137 flights, 7 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 7 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 137 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 Republic on SRQ to EWR
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 10.22% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you close to two hours; a cancelled flight costs you the day. Book the 5pm–8pm departure so there is still a schedule behind you if it goes wrong, and treat a same-day connection as optimistic. 123 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
