Eugene to Denver

What the Data Says About EUG to DEN

The Eugene to Denver corridor (EUG → DEN) covers roughly 996 miles and is served by 10 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 5,850 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 84.2% on-time rate with an average delay of 86.0 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,082 flights were recorded on this pairing — 26 cancelled (1.2%) and 18 diverted (0.9%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 10 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 5,850 total flights analyzed, the 84.2% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 86.0-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 67% on-time — a 26-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the EUG to DEN route, the combination of a 84.2% on-time rate, 86.0-minute average delay, 1.2% recent cancellation rate, and 10 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
