Charlotte Amalie to Orlando

What the Data Says About STT to MCO

The Charlotte Amalie to Orlando corridor (STT → MCO) covers roughly 1,246 miles and is served by 3 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 1,941 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 70.9% on-time rate with an average delay of 74.5 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,092 flights were recorded on this pairing — 14 cancelled (1.3%) and 44 diverted (4.0%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 3 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 1,941 total flights analyzed, the 70.9% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 74.5-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, Jun 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 91% on-time, while Mar 2024 came in at 58% on-time — a 33-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the STT to MCO route, the combination of a 70.9% on-time rate, 74.5-minute average delay, 1.3% recent cancellation rate, and 3 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
