What the Data Says About FSD to AZA

The Sioux Falls to Phoenix corridor (FSD → AZA) covers roughly 1,072 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 870 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 76.3% on-time rate with an average delay of 81.1 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 870 flights were recorded on this pairing — 19 cancelled (2.2%) and 0 diverted (0.0%). 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 870 total flights analyzed, the 76.3% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 81.1-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).

For travelers evaluating the FSD to AZA route, the combination of a 76.3% on-time rate, 81.1-minute average delay, 2.2% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
