What the record says about this route
The season swings this route hard. In November it ran 23.4 points more punctual than in April — 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.

This is a thin route — 357 flights across the whole period. On a route this infrequent a cancellation is far more costly than the rate suggests, because the next departure may not be the same day.

What these figures do and do not tell you
Everything on this page is counted from the flights that actually operated on HRL to MSP during July 2024 – July 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 →
