Charlotte to Greensboro/High Point

What the Data Says About CLT to GSO

The Charlotte to Greensboro/High Point corridor (CLT → GSO) covers roughly 83 miles and is served by 22 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 11,423 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 82% on-time rate with an average delay of 71.8 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 4,050 flights were recorded on this pairing — 65 cancelled (1.6%) and 2 diverted (0.0%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 22 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 11,423 total flights analyzed, the 82% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 71.8-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, Nov 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 90% on-time, while Jul 2024 came in at 55% on-time — a 35-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the CLT to GSO route, the combination of a 82% on-time rate, 71.8-minute average delay, 1.6% recent cancellation rate, and 22 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
