Detroit to Evansville

What the Data Says About DTW to EVV

The Detroit to Evansville corridor (DTW → EVV) covers roughly 363 miles and is served by 3 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 985 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 92.7% on-time rate with an average delay of 53.3 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 985 flights were recorded on this pairing — 21 cancelled (2.1%) and 1 diverted (0.1%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 3 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 985 total flights analyzed, the 92.7% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 53.3-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 2020 posted the best performance on this corridor at 98% on-time, while Jun 2021 came in at 79% on-time — a 20-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the DTW to EVV route, the combination of a 92.7% on-time rate, 53.3-minute average delay, 2.1% recent cancellation rate, and 3 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
