What the Data Says About MHT to EWR

The Manchester to Newark corridor (MHT → EWR) covers roughly 209 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 986 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 84.7% on-time rate with an average delay of 73.8 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 986 flights were recorded on this pairing — 38 cancelled (3.9%) and 1 diverted (0.1%). 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 986 total flights analyzed, the 84.7% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 73.8-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, Nov 2023 posted the best performance on this corridor at 97% on-time, while Dec 2022 came in at 70% on-time — a 26-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the MHT to EWR route, the combination of a 84.7% on-time rate, 73.8-minute average delay, 3.9% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
