Wichita to Minneapolis

What the Data Says About ICT to MSP

The Wichita to Minneapolis corridor (ICT → MSP) covers roughly 545 miles and is served by 5 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 2,373 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 90.8% on-time rate with an average delay of 90.5 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 826 flights were recorded on this pairing — 0 cancelled (0.0%) and 0 diverted (0.0%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 5 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 2,373 total flights analyzed, the 90.8% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 90.5-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, Jul 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 88% on-time, while Sep 2025 came in at 80% on-time — a 7-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the ICT to MSP route, the combination of a 90.8% on-time rate, 90.5-minute average delay, 0.0% recent cancellation rate, and 5 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
