What the Data Says About SHV to CLT

The Shreveport to Charlotte corridor (SHV → CLT) covers roughly 764 miles and is served by 5 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 4,483 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 84.1% on-time rate with an average delay of 95.5 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,670 flights were recorded on this pairing — 35 cancelled (2.1%) and 2 diverted (0.1%). 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 4,483 total flights analyzed, the 84.1% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 95.5-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 94% on-time, while May 2025 came in at 63% on-time — a 31-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the SHV to CLT route, the combination of a 84.1% on-time rate, 95.5-minute average delay, 2.1% recent cancellation rate, and 5 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
