8am–11am479 flights92.8%

The weak window here is the middle of the day, not the evening: 11am–2pm runs 79.8% on time against 95.8% for 5am–8am. That shape usually means a departure bank rather than an accumulating delay, so the recovery later in the afternoon is real rather than noise.

Delay causes

What held BUR up in February

Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 50% of the 21,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.

Late-arriving aircraft
50%
Carrier
24%
National Airspace System

Extreme weather

Security
0%

50% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 21,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 10 to one. The split is drawn from 20,703 reported delay minutes.

Cancellations sit at 2.06% against a national 2.25%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.28%.

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.9% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 6.5% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.
