Historical statistics for September 2025 to August 2026, not live status. For today’s flights, check with Envoy Air.
Envoy on VPS to DFW lands a B, 3 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 152 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 Envoy on VPS 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 152 flights between September 2025 and August 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 VPS to DFW
Envoy flew 152 of the 1,331 flights on VPS to DFW, about 11% of it. Its 80.7% on time is 8 points better than the route as a whole, which runs 73.2%. Ranked by on-time rate it is number two of three carriers on the route, where the range runs from PSA at 83.3% to American at 70.6%. 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 Envoy 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 152 flights.
- 5am–8am—
- 8am–11am—
- 11am–2pm50 flights74.0%
- 2pm–5pm2 flights—
- 5pm–8pm100 flights83.7%
- 8pm–5am—
Scale runs 65% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The weak window here is the middle of the day, not the evening: 11am–2pm runs 74.0% on time against 83.7% for 5pm–8pm. That shape usually means a departure bank rather than an accumulating delay, so the recovery later in the afternoon is real rather than noise. The 5pm–8pm window is the busiest, with 100 flights scheduled in it.

Envoy on VPS to DFW did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 87.9% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 76.5%, a swing of 11 points on roughly 51 flights a quarter.

Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 63% of the 2,967 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 63%Late-arriving aircraft
- 15%National Airspace System
- 15%Carrier
- 7%Extreme weather
63% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 2,967 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 9 to one. The split is drawn from 2,967 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations sit at 1.32% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
6.7% 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 641 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 86.0% on time across 152 flights, 5 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 5 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 152 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 VPS to DFW
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 152 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 80.7% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 150 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
