GPT delay-share reading

The standout signal at Gulfport/Biloxi, MS is the delay mix: Carrier owns 40.2% of 237,404 delay minutes across 38,923 BTS flights. The on-time headline is 86% (7 pts above the 79% national average), with 5,458 delayed and 484 cancelled (1.24%).

Delay minutes concentrate in Carrier (35.1% late-aircraft, 40.2% carrier, 13.3% NAS, 11.4% weather, 0.1% security). Mid-volume books still show a clear delay fingerprint rather than a weather-only story.

On the multi-year calendar, GPT is strongest in September (95.7% on-time) and weakest in June (91%), a 4.7-point swing. Volume peaks in March (~589 flights/month). The busiest connecting route is to ATL (Atlanta) at 88.1% on-time. Field definitions: on-time performance explained.

Using GPT's data

GPT's on-time book is stronger than most peers; the remaining risk sits in the delay mix, not a weak headline rate.

  • Check the busiest route from GPT before you book a connection. See top routes
  • Travel in September rather than June if your dates are flexible. Seasonal patterns
  • Gate-to-wheels taxi-out averages 14.6 min here; check the monthly series before a tight connection. Taxi times

On-time rate reflects the BTS historical average across all reporting carriers at this airport, not any single flight or airline.
