What the Data Says About RSW to ACY

The Fort Myers to Atlantic City corridor (RSW → ACY) covers roughly 982 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 2,277 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 85.7% on-time rate with an average delay of 91.8 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 903 flights were recorded on this pairing — 13 cancelled (1.4%) and 1 diverted (0.1%). 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 2,277 total flights analyzed, the 85.7% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 91.8-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, Apr 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 95% on-time, while Mar 2024 came in at 76% on-time — a 19-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the RSW to ACY route, the combination of a 85.7% on-time rate, 91.8-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.
