Phoenix to Bend/Redmond

What the Data Says About PHX to RDM

The Phoenix to Bend/Redmond corridor (PHX → RDM) covers roughly 893 miles and is served by 5 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 4,061 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 87.7% on-time rate with an average delay of 77.2 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,461 flights were recorded on this pairing — 5 cancelled (0.3%) and 13 diverted (0.9%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 5 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 4,061 total flights analyzed, the 87.7% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 77.2-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, Nov 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 96% on-time, while Jul 2024 came in at 69% on-time — a 28-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the PHX to RDM route, the combination of a 87.7% on-time rate, 77.2-minute average delay, 0.3% recent cancellation rate, and 5 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
