Corpus Christi to Dallas/Fort Worth

What the Data Says About CRP to DFW

The Corpus Christi to Dallas/Fort Worth corridor (CRP → DFW) covers roughly 354 miles and is served by 13 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 13,337 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 83.4% on-time rate with an average delay of 84.7 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 4,930 flights were recorded on this pairing — 115 cancelled (2.3%) and 8 diverted (0.2%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 13 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 13,337 total flights analyzed, the 83.4% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 84.7-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, Oct 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 95% on-time, while May 2024 came in at 63% on-time — a 33-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the CRP to DFW route, the combination of a 83.4% on-time rate, 84.7-minute average delay, 2.3% recent cancellation rate, and 13 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
