A(As a result of) B(heavy) traffic, his flight C(left) by the time he D(got) to the airport.

As a result of heavy traffic, his flight had left by the time he got to airport.

Probably so.
But the first phrase still is out of place.
I would write it this way.

Because of the heavy traffic, he was late. His flight had left before he arrived at the airport.
