Dallas/Fort Worth to Corpus Christi

What the Data Says About DFW to CRP

The Dallas/Fort Worth to Corpus Christi corridor (DFW → CRP) covers roughly 354 miles and is served by 13 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 13,339 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 83.9% on-time rate with an average delay of 65.4 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 4,930 flights were recorded on this pairing — 106 cancelled (2.2%) and 7 diverted (0.1%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 13 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 13,339 total flights analyzed, the 83.9% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 65.4-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, Oct 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 95% on-time, while Jun 2024 came in at 68% on-time — a 27-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the DFW to CRP route, the combination of a 83.9% on-time rate, 65.4-minute average delay, 2.2% recent cancellation rate, and 13 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
