Dallas to Colorado Springs

What the Data Says About DAL to COS

The Dallas to Colorado Springs corridor (DAL → COS) covers roughly 602 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 4,548 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 76.4% on-time rate with an average delay of 58.0 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,772 flights were recorded on this pairing — 8 cancelled (0.5%) and 4 diverted (0.2%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 1 carrier on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 4,548 total flights analyzed, the 76.4% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 58.0-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, Feb 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 88% on-time, while May 2024 came in at 54% on-time — a 34-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the DAL to COS route, the combination of a 76.4% on-time rate, 58.0-minute average delay, 0.5% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
