What the Data Says About JLN to DEN

The Joplin to Denver corridor (JLN → DEN) covers roughly 582 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 611 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 70.7% on-time rate with an average delay of 118.1 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 611 flights were recorded on this pairing — 15 cancelled (2.5%) and 7 diverted (1.1%). 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 611 total flights analyzed, the 70.7% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 118.1-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).

Monthly performance varies, so review the monthly table above to see specific periods. For travelers evaluating the JLN to DEN route, the combination of a 70.7% on-time rate, 118.1-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.
