What the record says about this route

The season swings this route hard. In May it ran 39.8 points more punctual than in January — a difference bigger than the one between the best and worst airlines on most routes. If the date is flexible, it is worth more than the carrier.

Cancellation, not delay, is the risk worth pricing here: 3.7% of scheduled flights never operated. A late flight still gets you there. A cancelled one leaves you rebooking, and on a route with few daily departures that can mean losing a day.

The route has been getting better. The later months in the record run 15.9 points more punctual than the earlier ones, which usually means a schedule that was too tight has been given more room.

This route does better than its own airport. Departures from BHX overall run 7.8 points less punctual than this particular one — so whatever congestion BHX has, this route is largely escaping it.

What these figures do and do not tell you

Everything on this page is counted from the flights that actually operated on BHX to IOM during January 2025 – August 2026, as reported by the airlines to the US Bureau of Transportation Statistics. "On time" is the federal definition: arriving at the gate within 15 minutes of the scheduled time.

A route's record is a description of the past, not a forecast. Weather, air traffic control and the aircraft's earlier flights that day drive most delays, and none of them are predictable from a historical rate. What the record does tell you is whether this route runs late more often than others, and which carrier on it has the better history — which is the part you can actually act on when you book.

Cancellations are counted separately from delays because they are a different problem for a traveller: a late flight still gets you there. How the grade is calculated →
