Los Angeles to Fayetteville

What the Data Says About LAX to XNA

The Los Angeles to Fayetteville corridor (LAX → XNA) covers roughly 1,371 miles and is served by 3 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 1,480 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 87.1% on-time rate with an average delay of 62.0 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 894 flights were recorded on this pairing — 1 cancelled (0.1%) and 1 diverted (0.1%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 3 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 1,480 total flights analyzed, the 87.1% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 62.0-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 LAX to XNA route, the combination of a 87.1% on-time rate, 62.0-minute average delay, 0.1% recent cancellation rate, and 3 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
