Burlington to Atlanta

What the Data Says About BTV to ATL

The Burlington to Atlanta corridor (BTV → ATL) covers roughly 961 miles and is served by 4 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 1,579 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 85.7% on-time rate with an average delay of 98.3 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 750 flights were recorded on this pairing — 13 cancelled (1.7%) and 3 diverted (0.4%). 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 1,579 total flights analyzed, the 85.7% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 98.3-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).

Monthly performance varies, so review the monthly table above to see specific periods. For travelers evaluating the BTV to ATL route, the combination of a 85.7% on-time rate, 98.3-minute average delay, 1.7% recent cancellation rate, and 4 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
