Longview to Dallas/Fort Worth

What the Data Says About GGG to DFW

The Longview to Dallas/Fort Worth corridor (GGG → DFW) covers roughly 140 miles and is served by 4 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 4,535 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 83.2% on-time rate with an average delay of 97.2 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,456 flights were recorded on this pairing — 39 cancelled (2.7%) and 1 diverted (0.1%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 4 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 4,535 total flights analyzed, the 83.2% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 97.2-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, Mar 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 90% on-time, while Jun 2025 came in at 68% on-time — a 22-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the GGG to DFW route, the combination of a 83.2% on-time rate, 97.2-minute average delay, 2.7% recent cancellation rate, and 4 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
