What the Data Says About DTW to CWA

The Detroit to Mosinee corridor (DTW → CWA) covers roughly 363 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 1,255 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 89.3% on-time rate with an average delay of 88.6 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,062 flights were recorded on this pairing — 2 cancelled (0.2%) and 8 diverted (0.8%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 1 carrier on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 1,255 total flights analyzed, the 89.3% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 88.6-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, May 2021 posted the best performance on this corridor at 100% on-time, while Nov 2021 came in at 79% on-time — a 21-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the DTW to CWA route, the combination of a 89.3% on-time rate, 88.6-minute average delay, 0.2% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
