Fayetteville to Dallas/Fort Worth

What the Data Says About FAY to DFW

The Fayetteville to Dallas/Fort Worth corridor (FAY → DFW) covers roughly 1,051 miles and is served by 8 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 770 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 86.1% on-time rate with an average delay of 129.9 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 740 flights were recorded on this pairing — 12 cancelled (1.6%) and 5 diverted (0.7%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 8 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 770 total flights analyzed, the 86.1% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 129.9-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).

Monthly performance varies, so review the monthly table above to see specific periods. For travelers evaluating the FAY to DFW route, the combination of a 86.1% on-time rate, 129.9-minute average delay, 1.6% recent cancellation rate, and 8 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
