Denver to Arcata/Eureka

What the Data Says About DEN to ACV

The Denver to Arcata/Eureka corridor (DEN → ACV) covers roughly 1,026 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 1,061 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 78.3% on-time rate with an average delay of 64.9 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 753 flights were recorded on this pairing — 4 cancelled (0.5%) and 8 diverted (1.1%). 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 1,061 total flights analyzed, the 78.3% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 64.9-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).

Monthly performance varies, so review the monthly table above to see specific periods. For travelers evaluating the DEN to ACV route, the combination of a 78.3% on-time rate, 64.9-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.
