Charlotte to White Plains

What the Data Says About CLT to HPN

The Charlotte to White Plains corridor (CLT → HPN) covers roughly 564 miles and is served by 2 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 7,151 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 81% on-time rate with an average delay of 74.5 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,816 flights were recorded on this pairing — 68 cancelled (2.4%) and 27 diverted (1.0%). 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 7,151 total flights analyzed, the 81% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 74.5-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 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 89% on-time, while Jul 2024 came in at 60% on-time — a 29-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the CLT to HPN route, the combination of a 81% on-time rate, 74.5-minute average delay, 2.4% recent cancellation rate, and 2 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
