Orlando to Providence

What the Data Says About MCO to PVD

The Orlando to Providence corridor (MCO → PVD) covers roughly 1,072 miles and is served by 11 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 8,969 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 76.6% on-time rate with an average delay of 70.6 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 3,245 flights were recorded on this pairing — 27 cancelled (0.8%) and 8 diverted (0.2%). 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 8,969 total flights analyzed, the 76.6% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 70.6-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 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 90% on-time, while Aug 2025 came in at 58% on-time — a 32-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the MCO to PVD route, the combination of a 76.6% on-time rate, 70.6-minute average delay, 0.8% recent cancellation rate, and 11 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
