Moline to Charlotte

What the Data Says About MLI to CLT

The Moline to Charlotte corridor (MLI → CLT) covers roughly 674 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 1,249 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 80% on-time rate with an average delay of 103.9 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,249 flights were recorded on this pairing — 30 cancelled (2.4%) and 3 diverted (0.2%). 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 1,249 total flights analyzed, the 80% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 103.9-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 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 92% on-time, while Jun 2025 came in at 62% on-time — a 30-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the MLI to CLT route, the combination of a 80% on-time rate, 103.9-minute average delay, 2.4% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
