San Angelo to Dallas/Fort Worth

What the Data Says About SJT to DFW

The San Angelo to Dallas/Fort Worth corridor (SJT → DFW) covers roughly 229 miles and is served by 4 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 7,797 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 83.1% on-time rate with an average delay of 78.4 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,178 flights were recorded on this pairing — 71 cancelled (3.3%) and 3 diverted (0.1%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 4 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 7,797 total flights analyzed, the 83.1% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 78.4-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, Dec 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 90% on-time, while Apr 2025 came in at 70% on-time — a 20-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the SJT to DFW route, the combination of a 83.1% on-time rate, 78.4-minute average delay, 3.3% recent cancellation rate, and 4 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
