Manchester to Charlotte

What the Data Says About MHT to CLT

The Manchester to Charlotte corridor (MHT → CLT) covers roughly 737 miles and is served by 7 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 5,979 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 85.7% on-time rate with an average delay of 98.0 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,024 flights were recorded on this pairing — 54 cancelled (2.7%) and 9 diverted (0.4%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 7 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 5,979 total flights analyzed, the 85.7% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 98.0-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, Oct 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 95% on-time, while Jul 2024 came in at 63% on-time — a 32-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the MHT to CLT route, the combination of a 85.7% on-time rate, 98.0-minute average delay, 2.7% recent cancellation rate, and 7 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
