Erie to Charlotte

What the Data Says About ERI to CLT

The Erie to Charlotte corridor (ERI → CLT) covers roughly 476 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 921 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 90.2% on-time rate with an average delay of 119.7 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 921 flights were recorded on this pairing — 16 cancelled (1.7%) and 4 diverted (0.4%). 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 921 total flights analyzed, the 90.2% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 119.7-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, Nov 2021 posted the best performance on this corridor at 96% on-time, while Feb 2022 came in at 75% on-time — a 21-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the ERI to CLT route, the combination of a 90.2% on-time rate, 119.7-minute average delay, 1.7% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
