Huntsville to Denver

What the Data Says About HSV to DEN

The Huntsville to Denver corridor (HSV → DEN) covers roughly 1,048 miles and is served by 3 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 3,198 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 82.7% on-time rate with an average delay of 84.6 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,445 flights were recorded on this pairing — 9 cancelled (0.6%) and 8 diverted (0.6%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 3 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 3,198 total flights analyzed, the 82.7% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 84.6-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 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 98% on-time, while May 2025 came in at 68% on-time — a 31-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the HSV to DEN route, the combination of a 82.7% on-time rate, 84.6-minute average delay, 0.6% recent cancellation rate, and 3 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
