Denver to Eugene

What the Data Says About DEN to EUG

The Denver to Eugene corridor (DEN → EUG) covers roughly 996 miles and is served by 11 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 5,846 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 78.1% on-time rate with an average delay of 65.6 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,081 flights were recorded on this pairing — 15 cancelled (0.7%) and 0 diverted (0.0%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 11 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 5,846 total flights analyzed, the 78.1% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 65.6-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, Oct 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 95% on-time, while Jun 2024 came in at 63% on-time — a 32-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the DEN to EUG route, the combination of a 78.1% on-time rate, 65.6-minute average delay, 0.7% recent cancellation rate, and 11 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
