What the Data Says About MYR to ACY

The Myrtle Beach to Atlantic City corridor (MYR → ACY) covers roughly 466 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 1,308 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 82.6% on-time rate with an average delay of 74.9 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 888 flights were recorded on this pairing — 16 cancelled (1.8%) and 2 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 1,308 total flights analyzed, the 82.6% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 74.9-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, Jul 2022 posted the best performance on this corridor at 94% on-time, while Oct 2022 came in at 89% on-time — a 5-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the MYR to ACY route, the combination of a 82.6% on-time rate, 74.9-minute average delay, 1.8% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
