Valparaiso to Cincinnati

What the Data Says About VPS to CVG

The Valparaiso to Cincinnati corridor (VPS → CVG) covers roughly 600 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 1,666 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 70.8% on-time rate with an average delay of 89.8 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,074 flights were recorded on this pairing — 11 cancelled (1.0%) and 3 diverted (0.3%). 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 1,666 total flights analyzed, the 70.8% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 89.8-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 90% on-time, while Jul 2022 came in at 46% on-time — a 44-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the VPS to CVG route, the combination of a 70.8% on-time rate, 89.8-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.
