Phoenix to Midland/Odessa

What the Data Says About PHX to MAF

The Phoenix to Midland/Odessa corridor (PHX → MAF) covers roughly 581 miles and is served by 8 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 1,785 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 80.4% on-time rate with an average delay of 99.0 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 735 flights were recorded on this pairing — 4 cancelled (0.5%) and 4 diverted (0.5%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 8 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 1,785 total flights analyzed, the 80.4% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 99.0-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).

Monthly performance varies, so review the monthly table above to see specific periods. For travelers evaluating the PHX to MAF route, the combination of a 80.4% on-time rate, 99.0-minute average delay, 0.5% recent cancellation rate, and 8 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
