What the Data Says About HDN to DFW

The Hayden to Dallas/Fort Worth corridor (HDN → DFW) covers roughly 769 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 734 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 70.8% on-time rate with an average delay of 147.5 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 734 flights were recorded on this pairing — 8 cancelled (1.1%) and 7 diverted (1.0%). 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 734 total flights analyzed, the 70.8% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 147.5-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 2023 posted the best performance on this corridor at 80% on-time, while Jan 2024 came in at 65% on-time — a 15-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the HDN to DFW route, the combination of a 70.8% on-time rate, 147.5-minute average delay, 1.1% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
