Charlotte to Jackson/Vicksburg

What the Data Says About CLT to JAN

The Charlotte to Jackson/Vicksburg corridor (CLT → JAN) covers roughly 562 miles and is served by 2 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 4,426 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 82.9% on-time rate with an average delay of 63.6 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,365 flights were recorded on this pairing — 24 cancelled (1.8%) 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 4,426 total flights analyzed, the 82.9% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 63.6-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 2023 posted the best performance on this corridor at 96% on-time, while Jun 2025 came in at 59% on-time — a 37-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the CLT to JAN route, the combination of a 82.9% on-time rate, 63.6-minute average delay, 1.8% recent cancellation rate, and 2 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
