Having 1 carrier on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 2,245 total flights analyzed, the 81.3% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 109.0-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 93% on-time, while Jun 2025 came in at 50% on-time — a 43-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the DIK to DEN route, the combination of a 81.3% on-time rate, 109.0-minute average delay, 2.1% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
