Atlantic City to Tampa

What the Data Says About ACY to TPA

The Atlantic City to Tampa corridor (ACY → TPA) covers roughly 913 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 1,514 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 82.7% on-time rate with an average delay of 77.4 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 897 flights were recorded on this pairing — 24 cancelled (2.7%) and 3 diverted (0.3%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 1 carrier on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 1,514 total flights analyzed, the 82.7% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 77.4-minute average delay applies only to flights that actually ran late, so it is not the average wait across all departures — the majority of flights on this route depart on time under the BTS definition of a delay (15+ minutes past schedule).

Looking at recent months, Aug 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 91% on-time, while Apr 2023 came in at 64% on-time — a 26-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the ACY to TPA route, the combination of a 82.7% on-time rate, 77.4-minute average delay, 2.7% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
