New Flight Schedule out of Barkley to Improve Flight Reliability

April 22, 2026

Barkley Regional Airport (PAH) will implement a new daily flight schedule beginning May 21, introducing targeted changes designed to improve reliability and better serve travelers across the Purchase Region.

The revised schedule creates a 1-hour and 30-minute buffer between the Chicago inbound flight and the Houston Outbound Flight. This additional time aims to reduce delays from Chicago O’Hare International Airport (ORD) and improve on-time performance for passengers continuing to George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH).

Additionally, the evening inbound flight from Houston will now arrive significantly earlier, offering travelers improved access to ground transportation.

“Barkley Regional Airport and SkyWest are jointly engaged in a continuous effort to elevate the travel experience for our community. By fine-tuning our operations, we’ve established a more robust 1-hour-and-30-minute cushion for connecting flights and improved our evening arrival times from Houston. ‘This schedule evolution reflects our shared commitment to providing a high-quality, dependable transportation solution, said Dennis Rouleau, Executive Director. “By working hand-in-hand with SkyWest, we are ensuring that our service effectively meets the needs of our regional travelers.”

The updated daily schedule is as follows:

PAH to ORD: Departs 5:00 a.m. | Arrives 6:43 a.m.
ORD to PAH: Departs 11:20 a.m. | Arrives 12:50 p.m.
PAH to IAH: Departs 2:20 p.m. | Arrives 4:35 p.m.
IAH to PAH: Departs 5:15 p.m. | Arrives 7:20 p.m.

Passengers are encouraged to review the updated schedule and plan travel accordingly. All flight times are approximate and subject to change. United Airlines service is operated by SkyWest Airlines, and flights can be booked through FlyBarkley.com.
