Minneapolis to Green Bay

What the Data Says About MSP to GRB

The Minneapolis to Green Bay corridor (MSP → GRB) covers roughly 252 miles and is served by 9 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 5,701 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 86.5% on-time rate with an average delay of 80.8 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,788 flights were recorded on this pairing — 18 cancelled (1.0%) and 3 diverted (0.2%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 9 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 5,701 total flights analyzed, the 86.5% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 80.8-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, Oct 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 92% on-time, while Dec 2024 came in at 59% on-time — a 32-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the MSP to GRB route, the combination of a 86.5% on-time rate, 80.8-minute average delay, 1.0% recent cancellation rate, and 9 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
