Departure window
The best time of day to leave CLE in June
Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 28 points, against 14 points between the best and worst carrier. Each bar is the on-time rate for flights scheduled inside that window.
- 5am–8am971 flights89.2%
- 8am–11am573 flights87.2%
- 11am–2pm456 flights82.5%
- 2pm–5pm768 flights73.9%
- 5pm–8pm639 flights61.7%
- 8pm–5am268 flights69.3%
Scale runs 55% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The 5pm–8pm window is where this operation falls apart: 61.7% on time, against 89.2% for the 5am–8am slot. By evening the aircraft flying these rotations have absorbed a full day of small delays and there is no slack left to recover in. The 5am–8am window is the busiest, with 971 flights scheduled in it.
Across the week, Tuesday is the strongest day at 84.9% on time and Sunday the weakest at 71.7%. 13 points is a smaller lever than departure hour, but it is free.
Carrier by carrier
Which airlines ran best at CLE in June
The choice of carrier is not cosmetic here. Delta Air Lines arrives on time 87.5% of the time; Frontier Airlines manages 73.9%. Sample sizes sit next to every figure, because a two-point gap across 615 flights means less than a ten-point one.
| Airline | Flights | On time | Avg delay | Cancelled | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| United Airlines | 805 | 82.9% | 88 min | 0.50% | B+ |

Republic Airways cancels 4.5% of what it schedules here, the highest in the table. A cancelled flight never appears in an on-time rate, so read that column alongside the punctuality one rather than after it.

Delay causes
What held CLE up in June
Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 63,000 reported delay minutes.
- 41%Late-arriving aircraft
- 27%Carrier
- 27%National Airspace System
- 5%Extreme weather
- 0%Security
41% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 63,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 8 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 63,038 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations sit at 2.23% against a national 1.65%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.54%.
8.6% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 9.7%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last an hour and a half, which a normal layover absorbs.
