Medford to Salt Lake City

What the Data Says About MFR to SLC

The Medford to Salt Lake City corridor (MFR → SLC) covers roughly 575 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 4,455 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 91.6% on-time rate with an average delay of 99.0 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,461 flights were recorded on this pairing — 15 cancelled (1.0%) and 0 diverted (0.0%). 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 4,455 total flights analyzed, the 91.6% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 99.0-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, Jun 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 100% on-time, while Jun 2024 came in at 75% on-time — a 25-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the MFR to SLC route, the combination of a 91.6% on-time rate, 99.0-minute average delay, 1.0% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
