Dallas/Fort Worth to Tyler

What the Data Says About DFW to TYR

The Dallas/Fort Worth to Tyler corridor (DFW → TYR) covers roughly 102 miles and is served by 5 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 6,961 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 84.8% on-time rate with an average delay of 74.2 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,179 flights were recorded on this pairing — 68 cancelled (3.1%) and 3 diverted (0.1%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 5 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 6,961 total flights analyzed, the 84.8% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 74.2-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, Apr 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 91% on-time, while Jul 2025 came in at 65% on-time — a 26-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the DFW to TYR route, the combination of a 84.8% on-time rate, 74.2-minute average delay, 3.1% recent cancellation rate, and 5 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
