Dallas/Fort Worth to San Angelo

What the Data Says About DFW to SJT

The Dallas/Fort Worth to San Angelo corridor (DFW → SJT) covers roughly 229 miles and is served by 4 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 7,799 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 85.4% on-time rate with an average delay of 69.2 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,178 flights were recorded on this pairing — 59 cancelled (2.7%) and 10 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 7,799 total flights analyzed, the 85.4% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 69.2-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, Oct 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 91% on-time, while Jun 2025 came in at 64% on-time — a 27-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the DFW to SJT route, the combination of a 85.4% on-time rate, 69.2-minute average delay, 2.7% recent cancellation rate, and 4 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
