Charlotte to Gainesville

What the Data Says About CLT to GNV

The Charlotte to Gainesville corridor (CLT → GNV) covers roughly 388 miles and is served by 2 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 4,522 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 84.8% on-time rate with an average delay of 64.5 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,371 flights were recorded on this pairing — 40 cancelled (2.9%) and 3 diverted (0.2%). 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 4,522 total flights analyzed, the 84.8% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 64.5-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, Oct 2022 posted the best performance on this corridor at 97% on-time, while Jul 2024 came in at 55% on-time — a 42-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the CLT to GNV route, the combination of a 84.8% on-time rate, 64.5-minute average delay, 2.9% recent cancellation rate, and 2 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
