Amarillo to Dallas/Fort Worth

What the Data Says About AMA to DFW

The Amarillo to Dallas/Fort Worth corridor (AMA → DFW) covers roughly 312 miles and is served by 26 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 12,786 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 80.9% on-time rate with an average delay of 89.8 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 4,845 flights were recorded on this pairing — 112 cancelled (2.3%) and 15 diverted (0.3%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 26 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 12,786 total flights analyzed, the 80.9% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 89.8-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, Feb 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 91% on-time, while Jan 2024 came in at 69% on-time — a 22-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the AMA to DFW route, the combination of a 80.9% on-time rate, 89.8-minute average delay, 2.3% recent cancellation rate, and 26 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
