Denver to Pueblo

What the Data Says About DEN to PUB

The Denver to Pueblo corridor (DEN → PUB) covers roughly 109 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 1,706 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 87.2% on-time rate with an average delay of 118.6 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,121 flights were recorded on this pairing — 30 cancelled (2.7%) and 2 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 1,706 total flights analyzed, the 87.2% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 118.6-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, Nov 2021 posted the best performance on this corridor at 96% on-time, while Oct 2021 came in at 77% on-time — a 19-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the DEN to PUB route, the combination of a 87.2% on-time rate, 118.6-minute average delay, 2.7% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
