These figures cover 627 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 13 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.

Envoy against every carrier on XNA to CLT
Envoy flew 627 of the 1,457 flights on XNA to CLT, about 43% of it. Its 89.3% on time is 3 points better than the route as a whole, which runs 85.9%.

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 16 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.
- 5am–8am87 flights94.0%
- 8am–11am430 flights91.4%

Book the early departure. Flights leaving between 5am–8am arrive on time 94.0% of the time, against 77.9% for the evening window. That is 16 points of difference for no extra money, and it comes from the same aircraft having had no earlier flight to fall behind on. The 8am–11am window is the busiest, with 430 flights scheduled in it.

Delay causes
Why Envoy runs late on this route
Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 3,231 reported delay minutes.
- 35%Late-arriving aircraft
- 24%National Airspace System
- 21%Extreme weather
- 20%Carrier
Extreme weather accounts for 21% 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 3.5 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 3,231 reported delay minutes.
35% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 3,231 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 2 to one.
Cancellations sit at 1.75% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.16%.
Connections and stage length
What a delay here costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 2.4% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.
The 754 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 79.9% on time across 627 flights, 9 points below 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 9 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 627 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 XNA to CLT
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 627 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 89.3% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 615 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
