What the Data Says About DEN to DIK

The Denver to Dickinson corridor (DEN → DIK) covers roughly 488 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 2,275 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 81.4% on-time rate with an average delay of 104.4 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,360 flights were recorded on this pairing — 33 cancelled (2.4%) and 14 diverted (1.0%). 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 2,275 total flights analyzed, the 81.4% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 104.4-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, Jul 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 91% on-time, while Jun 2025 came in at 57% on-time — a 34-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the DEN to DIK route, the combination of a 81.4% on-time rate, 104.4-minute average delay, 2.4% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
