Dallas/Fort Worth to Killeen

What the Data Says About DFW to GRK

The Dallas/Fort Worth to Killeen corridor (DFW → GRK) covers roughly 134 miles and is served by 8 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 11,428 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 82.4% on-time rate with an average delay of 68.1 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 3,608 flights were recorded on this pairing — 100 cancelled (2.8%) and 6 diverted (0.2%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 8 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 11,428 total flights analyzed, the 82.4% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 68.1-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, Feb 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 91% on-time, while May 2024 came in at 58% on-time — a 32-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the DFW to GRK route, the combination of a 82.4% on-time rate, 68.1-minute average delay, 2.8% recent cancellation rate, and 8 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
