Appleton to Denver

What the Data Says About ATW to DEN

The Appleton to Denver corridor (ATW → DEN) covers roughly 883 miles and is served by 3 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 1,869 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 76.6% on-time rate with an average delay of 87.5 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 902 flights were recorded on this pairing — 6 cancelled (0.7%) and 2 diverted (0.2%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 3 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 1,869 total flights analyzed, the 76.6% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 87.5-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).

Monthly performance varies, so review the monthly table above to see specific periods. For travelers evaluating the ATW to DEN route, the combination of a 76.6% on-time rate, 87.5-minute average delay, 0.7% recent cancellation rate, and 3 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
