What the Data Says About RHI to MSP

The Rhinelander to Minneapolis corridor (RHI → MSP) covers roughly 190 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 4,491 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 89.6% on-time rate with an average delay of 109.0 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,551 flights were recorded on this pairing — 22 cancelled (1.4%) and 0 diverted (0.0%). 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 4,491 total flights analyzed, the 89.6% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 109.0-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).

Looking at recent months, Oct 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 95% on-time, while Jun 2024 came in at 51% on-time — a 44-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the RHI to MSP route, the combination of a 89.6% on-time rate, 109.0-minute average delay, 1.4% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
