Dallas/Fort Worth to Roswell

What the Data Says About DFW to ROW

The Dallas/Fort Worth to Roswell corridor (DFW → ROW) covers roughly 435 miles and is served by 4 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 5,062 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 83.4% on-time rate with an average delay of 80.8 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,911 flights were recorded on this pairing — 62 cancelled (3.2%) and 13 diverted (0.7%). 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 5,062 total flights analyzed, the 83.4% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 80.8-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 93% on-time, while Jun 2025 came in at 64% on-time — a 29-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the DFW to ROW route, the combination of a 83.4% on-time rate, 80.8-minute average delay, 3.2% recent cancellation rate, and 4 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
