Minneapolis to Mosinee

What the Data Says About MSP to CWA

The Minneapolis to Mosinee corridor (MSP → CWA) covers roughly 175 miles and is served by 2 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 3,603 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 86.7% on-time rate with an average delay of 103.8 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,461 flights were recorded on this pairing — 14 cancelled (1.0%) and 2 diverted (0.1%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 2 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 3,603 total flights analyzed, the 86.7% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 103.8-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, Apr 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 97% on-time, while Jun 2024 came in at 67% on-time — a 30-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the MSP to CWA route, the combination of a 86.7% on-time rate, 103.8-minute average delay, 1.0% recent cancellation rate, and 2 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
