What the Data Says About TPA to ACY

The Tampa to Atlantic City corridor (TPA → ACY) covers roughly 913 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 1,511 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 80.9% on-time rate with an average delay of 85.1 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 870 flights were recorded on this pairing — 23 cancelled (2.6%) and 0 diverted (0.0%). 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 1,511 total flights analyzed, the 80.9% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 85.1-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 2023 posted the best performance on this corridor at 92% on-time, while Aug 2025 came in at 78% on-time — a 13-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the TPA to ACY route, the combination of a 80.9% on-time rate, 85.1-minute average delay, 2.6% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
