Dallas/Fort Worth to Longview

What the Data Says About DFW to GGG

The Dallas/Fort Worth to Longview corridor (DFW → GGG) covers roughly 140 miles and is served by 4 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 4,565 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 85.2% on-time rate with an average delay of 76.3 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,456 flights were recorded on this pairing — 42 cancelled (2.9%) and 8 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 4,565 total flights analyzed, the 85.2% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 76.3-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 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 93% on-time, while Nov 2024 came in at 63% on-time — a 31-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the DFW to GGG route, the combination of a 85.2% on-time rate, 76.3-minute average delay, 2.9% recent cancellation rate, and 4 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
