Denver to Bend/Redmond

What the Data Says About DEN to RDM

The Denver to Bend/Redmond corridor (DEN → RDM) covers roughly 898 miles and is served by 4 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 4,277 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 78.6% on-time rate with an average delay of 69.1 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,460 flights were recorded on this pairing — 12 cancelled (0.8%) and 7 diverted (0.5%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 4 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 4,277 total flights analyzed, the 78.6% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 69.1-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 94% on-time, while Jul 2025 came in at 53% on-time — a 40-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the DEN to RDM route, the combination of a 78.6% on-time rate, 69.1-minute average delay, 0.8% recent cancellation rate, and 4 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
