Against the 15 carriers FlyerIntel covers — all measured over the same period, from the same source — Envoy Air ranks 6th of 15 for on-time arrivals, 9th for cancellations and 6th for arrivals more than an hour late. The full table is at the foot of this page.

Over the last 12 months Envoy Air arrived on time 80.2% of the time, against 80.1% in the 12 months before — broadly unchanged.

Why Envoy Air cancels flights

Every cancellation carries a reason code the operating carrier filed with US DOT. July 2023 – June 2026.

Envoy Air cancelled 15,561 of 857,098 scheduled flights — about 1 in every 55. The reason it filed most often was extreme weather, 68.8% of the cancellations it coded — about 1 in every 80 scheduled flights.

What each reason means

What these shares do not measure

A reason code is the operating carrier’s own filing. US DOT collects the reason the airline gave; it does not adjudicate it, and carriers differ in how they fill the form in. The split above describes what kind of disruption Envoy Air records, not who was at fault when it happened, and it cannot be set against another airline’s split to decide which of the two is better run.

That is measurable rather than a disclaimer. Across the 15 carriers FlyerIntel publishes, the correlation between how much of its own cancelling a carrier attributes to itself and how often it actually cancels is -0.46 — negative, which is the wrong sign for a ranking of fault and about the right sign for a difference in filing convention. Hawaiian Airlines attributed 82.8% of its cancellations to itself and cancelled 1.00% of its flights; SkyWest Airlines attributed 2.5% and cancelled 1.33%. The airline taking the most blame is the one that cancels least.

The figure on this page that does compare cleanly between airlines is the cancellation rate in Reliability, because it counts cancellations instead of reading the reason filed for them. The First Flight of the Day sets out the same finding from the airport-carrier records, and declines on the strength of it to compare any two carriers’ codes.

Weather also sits inside the air traffic figure — code B covers only conditions severe enough to stop a flight outright, while ordinary bad weather is counted as an air traffic system cause — so weather’s full contribution is larger than the weather bar alone.

Shares are of Envoy Air’s own coded cancellations at each airport and run across the row, so they total 100%. “Rate” is cancellations as a share of its scheduled departures there. Reading down a column compares one airline with itself in different weather and different airspace, which is the comparison these codes support — a carrier files the same way wherever it flies, so its filing habits largely cancel out of the differences between these rows in a way they never cancel out of a comparison between two airlines. Airports where Envoy Air recorded fewer coded cancellations than the published minimum are not listed.

Source: US DOT Bureau of Transportation Statistics · Data covering July 2023 – June 2026 · These are the reason codes Envoy Air itself filed with US DOT — the reason the airline gave, not an independent finding of fault, and airlines differ in how they apply them. FlyerIntel publishes the split only for carriers with at least 500 coded cancellations in the period; 15,561 were recorded.

Each column is one month of Envoy Air operations. The strongest single month of the period was October 2024 at 89.3% on time; the weakest was May 2024 at 66.8%. Individual months move for reasons that do not repeat — a hurricane season, a technology outage, a winter storm — which is why the section below combines the same data by calendar month instead.

Combining 3 years of operations by calendar month, Envoy Air is at its best in November, when 84.8% of arrivals were on time, and at its worst in July at 74.1% — a spread of 10.7 percentage points between two months of the same airline. Cancellations peak in a month of their own: January at 4.70% of flights, against 0.55% in October.

This is the shape of the calendar, not a forecast. It says that if you book Envoy Air in July you are booking into the part of the year when this airline has historically been least punctual, and that a November itinerary starts from a better position. It does not say anything about a particular date, and it cannot: the figure behind each month is 3 years of that same month combined, precisely so that one storm does not decide the answer.

Why Envoy Air runs late

Share of total reported delay minutes by cause, as classified by the operating carrier.

Share of the delay minutes US DOT attributed to each cause for Envoy Air. A single late flight can carry more than one cause, and only delays of fifteen minutes or more are attributed at all.

The largest single category for Envoy Air is late-arriving aircraft, at 44.2% of attributed minutes. The category squarely inside the carrier’s own control — crew, maintenance, boarding, fuelling — accounts for 21.8% of its delay minutes, against 34.0% across the 15 carriers covered here. That is 12.3 percentage points less of its delay minutes falling inside the airline than is typical for this group.

These shares describe how delay minutes were divided, not how often delays happened. A carrier with an unusually large air-traffic-control share is not necessarily worse run; it may simply fly more of its schedule through congested airspace. The one category that is squarely the airline’s own is the carrier category, which is why it is the one compared above.

Envoy Air departed from 187 airports in this period, with no single one accounting for more than 22.9% of departures and the largest three together 42.2%. Performance is spread across the network rather than resting on one or two hubs, so a single weak airport moves this carrier’s overall figure less than it would at a hub-and-spoke airline.

Data and methodology

Calculated by FlyerIntel from 857,098 Envoy Air flight records published by the US DOT Bureau of Transportation Statistics, covering July 2023 – June 2026. A flight counts as delayed when it arrives 15 or more minutes after schedule. Cancelled and diverted flights are excluded from the on-time rate and reported separately, because folding them in would flatter a carrier that cancels rather than runs late. Figures below a published sample threshold are omitted rather than shown with a caveat.
