Charlotte to Augusta

What the Data Says About CLT to AGS

The Charlotte to Augusta corridor (CLT → AGS) covers roughly 140 miles and is served by 6 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 4,661 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 82.4% on-time rate with an average delay of 86.5 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,085 flights were recorded on this pairing — 53 cancelled (2.5%) and 5 diverted (0.2%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 6 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 4,661 total flights analyzed, the 82.4% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 86.5-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, Feb 2023 posted the best performance on this corridor at 94% on-time, while Oct 2024 came in at 55% on-time — a 39-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the CLT to AGS route, the combination of a 82.4% on-time rate, 86.5-minute average delay, 2.5% recent cancellation rate, and 6 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
