Dallas/Fort Worth to Yuma

What the Data Says About DFW to YUM

The Dallas/Fort Worth to Yuma corridor (DFW → YUM) covers roughly 1,022 miles and is served by 2 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 2,305 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 81.3% on-time rate with an average delay of 78.9 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 734 flights were recorded on this pairing — 14 cancelled (1.9%) and 2 diverted (0.3%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 2 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 2,305 total flights analyzed, the 81.3% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 78.9-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).

Monthly performance varies, so review the monthly table above to see specific periods. For travelers evaluating the DFW to YUM route, the combination of a 81.3% on-time rate, 78.9-minute average delay, 1.9% recent cancellation rate, and 2 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
