Killeen to Dallas/Fort Worth

What the Data Says About GRK to DFW

The Killeen to Dallas/Fort Worth corridor (GRK → DFW) covers roughly 134 miles and is served by 8 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 11,425 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 80.3% on-time rate with an average delay of 74.0 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 3,607 flights were recorded on this pairing — 102 cancelled (2.8%) and 5 diverted (0.1%). 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 11,425 total flights analyzed, the 80.3% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 74.0-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, Feb 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 94% on-time, while Jun 2024 came in at 66% on-time — a 28-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the GRK to DFW route, the combination of a 80.3% on-time rate, 74.0-minute average delay, 2.8% recent cancellation rate, and 8 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
