Texarkana to Dallas/Fort Worth

What the Data Says About TXK to DFW

The Texarkana to Dallas/Fort Worth corridor (TXK → DFW) covers roughly 181 miles and is served by 4 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 5,466 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 84.1% on-time rate with an average delay of 96.6 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,464 flights were recorded on this pairing — 47 cancelled (3.2%) and 3 diverted (0.2%). 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 5,466 total flights analyzed, the 84.1% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 96.6-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 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 93% on-time, while Feb 2025 came in at 71% on-time — a 22-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the TXK to DFW route, the combination of a 84.1% on-time rate, 96.6-minute average delay, 3.2% recent cancellation rate, and 4 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
