Amarillo to Denver

What the Data Says About AMA to DEN

The Amarillo to Denver corridor (AMA → DEN) covers roughly 359 miles and is served by 4 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 2,864 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 74.8% on-time rate with an average delay of 93.3 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,402 flights were recorded on this pairing — 23 cancelled (1.6%) and 9 diverted (0.6%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 4 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 2,864 total flights analyzed, the 74.8% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 93.3-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, Nov 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 84% on-time, while Aug 2025 came in at 55% on-time — a 29-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the AMA to DEN route, the combination of a 74.8% on-time rate, 93.3-minute average delay, 1.6% recent cancellation rate, and 4 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
