Las Vegas to Colorado Springs

What the Data Says About LAS to COS

The Las Vegas to Colorado Springs corridor (LAS → COS) covers roughly 604 miles and is served by 4 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 4,956 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 74.8% on-time rate with an average delay of 57.1 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,773 flights were recorded on this pairing — 9 cancelled (0.5%) and 3 diverted (0.2%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 4 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 4,956 total flights analyzed, the 74.8% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 57.1-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, Jan 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 90% on-time, while Jul 2024 came in at 62% on-time — a 28-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the LAS to COS route, the combination of a 74.8% on-time rate, 57.1-minute average delay, 0.5% recent cancellation rate, and 4 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
