Jackson/Vicksburg to Charlotte

What the Data Says About JAN to CLT

The Jackson/Vicksburg to Charlotte corridor (JAN → CLT) covers roughly 562 miles and is served by 2 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 4,419 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 85.4% on-time rate with an average delay of 93.5 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,359 flights were recorded on this pairing — 25 cancelled (1.8%) and 0 diverted (0.0%). 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 4,419 total flights analyzed, the 85.4% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 93.5-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 96% on-time, while Jul 2024 came in at 61% on-time — a 36-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the JAN to CLT route, the combination of a 85.4% on-time rate, 93.5-minute average delay, 1.8% recent cancellation rate, and 2 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
