What the Data Says About CDC to SLC

The Cedar City to Salt Lake City corridor (CDC → SLC) covers roughly 221 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 3,490 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 92.7% on-time rate with an average delay of 114.5 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,257 flights were recorded on this pairing — 8 cancelled (0.6%) and 0 diverted (0.0%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 1 carrier on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 3,490 total flights analyzed, the 92.7% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 114.5-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, May 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 98% on-time, while Jul 2025 came in at 81% on-time — a 17-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the CDC to SLC route, the combination of a 92.7% on-time rate, 114.5-minute average delay, 0.6% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
