Houston to Victoria

What the Data Says About IAH to VCT

The Houston to Victoria corridor (IAH → VCT) covers roughly 123 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 3,172 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 86.9% on-time rate with an average delay of 157.1 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,276 flights were recorded on this pairing — 32 cancelled (2.5%) and 5 diverted (0.4%). 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 3,172 total flights analyzed, the 86.9% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 157.1-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, Dec 2023 posted the best performance on this corridor at 92% on-time, while Jul 2025 came in at 69% on-time — a 23-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the IAH to VCT route, the combination of a 86.9% on-time rate, 157.1-minute average delay, 2.5% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
