Dallas/Fort Worth to Shreveport

What the Data Says About DFW to SHV

The Dallas/Fort Worth to Shreveport corridor (DFW → SHV) covers roughly 190 miles and is served by 15 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 11,595 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 82.6% on-time rate with an average delay of 79.5 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 4,077 flights were recorded on this pairing — 130 cancelled (3.2%) and 4 diverted (0.1%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 15 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 11,595 total flights analyzed, the 82.6% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 79.5-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 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 92% on-time, while Jun 2025 came in at 63% on-time — a 29-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the DFW to SHV route, the combination of a 82.6% on-time rate, 79.5-minute average delay, 3.2% recent cancellation rate, and 15 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
