What the record says about this route
Cancellation, not delay, is the risk worth pricing here: 9.57% 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.
This is a late route. Flights from Washington to Bangor miss their scheduled arrival often enough that a tight connection at the far end is a connection at risk.
Only PSA Airlines flies this route in the published record, so there is no choice to weigh — the route's figures and the airline's are the same figures.

What these figures do and do not tell you
Everything on this page is counted from the flights that actually operated on DCA to BGR during March 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 →
