White Plains to Charlotte

What the Data Says About HPN to CLT

The White Plains to Charlotte corridor (HPN → CLT) covers roughly 564 miles and is served by 2 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 7,146 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 82.5% on-time rate with an average delay of 96.8 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,815 flights were recorded on this pairing — 101 cancelled (3.6%) and 6 diverted (0.2%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 2 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 7,146 total flights analyzed, the 82.5% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 96.8-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 91% on-time, while May 2025 came in at 67% on-time — a 24-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the HPN to CLT route, the combination of a 82.5% on-time rate, 96.8-minute average delay, 3.6% recent cancellation rate, and 2 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
