Yuma to Dallas/Fort Worth

What the Data Says About YUM to DFW

The Yuma to Dallas/Fort Worth corridor (YUM → DFW) covers roughly 1,022 miles and is served by 3 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 2,245 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 87.4% on-time rate with an average delay of 146.8 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 734 flights were recorded on this pairing — 8 cancelled (1.1%) and 12 diverted (1.6%). 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 2,245 total flights analyzed, the 87.4% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 146.8-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).

Monthly performance varies, so review the monthly table above to see specific periods. For travelers evaluating the YUM to DFW route, the combination of a 87.4% on-time rate, 146.8-minute average delay, 1.1% recent cancellation rate, and 3 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
