Orlando to Cincinnati

What the Data Says About MCO to CVG

The Orlando to Cincinnati corridor (MCO → CVG) covers roughly 757 miles and is served by 11 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 9,411 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 76.9% on-time rate with an average delay of 84.0 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 3,593 flights were recorded on this pairing — 44 cancelled (1.2%) and 3 diverted (0.1%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 11 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 9,411 total flights analyzed, the 76.9% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 84.0-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).

Looking at recent months, Sep 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 86% on-time, while Jul 2025 came in at 57% on-time — a 29-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the MCO to CVG route, the combination of a 76.9% on-time rate, 84.0-minute average delay, 1.2% recent cancellation rate, and 11 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
