Charlotte to Huntsville

What the Data Says About CLT to HSV

The Charlotte to Huntsville corridor (CLT → HSV) covers roughly 333 miles and is served by 6 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 6,344 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 82.5% on-time rate with an average delay of 71.7 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,854 flights were recorded on this pairing — 49 cancelled (2.6%) and 0 diverted (0.0%). 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 6,344 total flights analyzed, the 82.5% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 71.7-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 89% on-time, while Jul 2024 came in at 51% on-time — a 38-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the CLT to HSV route, the combination of a 82.5% on-time rate, 71.7-minute average delay, 2.6% recent cancellation rate, and 6 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
