Eagle to Denver

What the Data Says About EGE to DEN

The Eagle to Denver corridor (EGE → DEN) covers roughly 120 miles and is served by 7 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 6,442 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 80% on-time rate with an average delay of 72.6 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,747 flights were recorded on this pairing — 26 cancelled (0.9%) and 6 diverted (0.2%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 7 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 6,442 total flights analyzed, the 80% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 72.6-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, Oct 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 94% on-time, while Jul 2025 came in at 48% on-time — a 45-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the EGE to DEN route, the combination of a 80% on-time rate, 72.6-minute average delay, 0.9% recent cancellation rate, and 7 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
