These figures cover 363 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 10 minutes early, which is the part an average hides: most flights here are fine, and the on-time rate is decided by a tail of badly late ones. On-time means under 15 minutes late, the DOT's own threshold.

Across the year
AA 1014 quarter by quarter
AA 1014 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2026 at 91.7% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 81.5%, a swing of 10 points on roughly 91 flights a quarter. The twelve-month rate averages over that, so if you are flying in a weak quarter the quarter's own figure is the better guide.

By weekday, AA 1014 did best on Tuesday at 88.5% on time and worst on Monday at 72.5%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 16 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes
Why AA 1014 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 54% of the 4,337 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 54%Late-arriving aircraft
- 30%Carrier
- 10%Extreme weather
- 6%National Airspace System
54% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 4,337 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 5 to one. The split is drawn from 4,337 delay minutes reported on AA 1014.
Cancellations sit at 1.65% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
6.4% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 813 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty.
AA 1014 is not only a DFW to TUS flight. It also flew TUS to DFW (362 flights, 81.4% on time) often enough to be scored on its own. Airlines attach one number to several legs of an aircraft's day, and each leg keeps its own record here, so check which city pair is on your booking before reading a rate.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 363 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor but not enough to pin the rate down tightly, and a single bad week moves it by more than a point. Treat the grade as a rough reading.
