Eagle to Dallas/Fort Worth

What the Data Says About EGE to DFW

The Eagle to Dallas/Fort Worth corridor (EGE → DFW) covers roughly 721 miles and is served by 5 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 4,519 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 74.5% on-time rate with an average delay of 106.2 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,877 flights were recorded on this pairing — 28 cancelled (1.5%) and 11 diverted (0.6%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 5 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 4,519 total flights analyzed, the 74.5% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 106.2-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, Sep 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 86% on-time, while Dec 2025 came in at 52% on-time — a 34-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the EGE to DFW route, the combination of a 74.5% on-time rate, 106.2-minute average delay, 1.5% recent cancellation rate, and 5 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
