Amarillo to Dallas

What the Data Says About AMA to DAL

The Amarillo to Dallas corridor (AMA → DAL) covers roughly 323 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 6,985 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 86.9% on-time rate with an average delay of 63.4 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,537 flights were recorded on this pairing — 20 cancelled (0.8%) and 7 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 6,985 total flights analyzed, the 86.9% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 63.4-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, Dec 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 96% on-time, while May 2024 came in at 76% on-time — a 20-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the AMA to DAL route, the combination of a 86.9% on-time rate, 63.4-minute average delay, 0.8% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
