Departure window
The best time of day to leave CLT in June

Across the week, Wednesday is the strongest day at 82.4% on time and Saturday the weakest at 60.1%, a spread of 22 points.
Carrier by carrier
Which airlines ran best at CLT in June
The choice of carrier is not cosmetic here. Delta Air Lines arrives on time 83.5% of the time; American Airlines manages 70.8%. Sample sizes sit next to every figure, because a two-point gap across 9,385 flights means less than a ten-point one.
| Airline | Flights | On time | Avg delay | Cancelled | Grade |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| American Airlines | 9,385 | 70.8% | 78 min | 1.28% | C |

Delay causes
What held CLT up in June
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 46% of the 319,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 46%Late-arriving aircraft
- 30%Carrier
- 15%National Airspace System
- 8%Extreme weather
- 0%Security
46% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 319,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 6 to one. The split is drawn from 319,421 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations sit at 1.67% against a national 1.65%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.32%.
11.2% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 9.7% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
What to do with this
Flying from CLT in June
For a June trip through CLT: plan on this being one of the airport's harder months. The 5am–8am departures held up best at 89.1% on time, and with 11.2% of arrivals an hour or more late, a connection here deserves more slack than the same trip in September would.
