Bozeman to Salt Lake City

What the Data Says About BZN to SLC

The Bozeman to Salt Lake City corridor (BZN → SLC) covers roughly 347 miles and is served by 4 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 7,717 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 90% on-time rate with an average delay of 92.5 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,294 flights were recorded on this pairing — 11 cancelled (0.5%) and 0 diverted (0.0%). 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 7,717 total flights analyzed, the 90% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 92.5-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).

Looking at recent months, Sep 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 97% on-time, while Jan 2024 came in at 74% on-time — a 23-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the BZN to SLC route, the combination of a 90% on-time rate, 92.5-minute average delay, 0.5% recent cancellation rate, and 4 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
