Salt Lake City to Medford

What the Data Says About SLC to MFR

The Salt Lake City to Medford corridor (SLC → MFR) covers roughly 575 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 4,456 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 90.3% 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 — 15 cancelled (1.0%) and 8 diverted (0.5%). 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 4,456 total flights analyzed, the 90.3% 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, Aug 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 97% on-time, while Dec 2024 came in at 74% on-time — a 23-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the SLC to MFR route, the combination of a 90.3% on-time rate, 77.2-minute average delay, 1.0% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
