Dallas/Fort Worth to Eagle

What the Data Says About DFW to EGE

The Dallas/Fort Worth to Eagle corridor (DFW → EGE) covers roughly 721 miles and is served by 5 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 4,521 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 74.1% on-time rate with an average delay of 96.0 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,878 flights were recorded on this pairing — 23 cancelled (1.2%) and 16 diverted (0.9%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 5 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 4,521 total flights analyzed, the 74.1% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 96.0-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, Sep 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 84% on-time, while Dec 2025 came in at 45% on-time — a 39-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the DFW to EGE route, the combination of a 74.1% on-time rate, 96.0-minute average delay, 1.2% recent cancellation rate, and 5 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
