Nashville to Valparaiso

What the Data Says About BNA to VPS

The Nashville to Valparaiso corridor (BNA → VPS) covers roughly 389 miles and is served by 2 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 4,040 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 82.8% on-time rate with an average delay of 59.0 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,711 flights were recorded on this pairing — 9 cancelled (0.5%) and 7 diverted (0.4%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 2 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 4,040 total flights analyzed, the 82.8% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 59.0-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, Sep 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 97% on-time, while May 2024 came in at 69% on-time — a 29-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the BNA to VPS route, the combination of a 82.8% on-time rate, 59.0-minute average delay, 0.5% recent cancellation rate, and 2 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
