These figures cover 365 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 14 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.

AA 1019 is scheduled to leave San Jose (SJC) at 06:00 local time and reach Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) at 11:39. That slot held for 303 of the 365 scheduled departures in the data, so the figures below describe one steady operation rather than a number that moved around the clock.

The latest arrival of the period was on 26 January 2026, 5 hours 53 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as extreme weather. On three of the five worst days the largest share was filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage).
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 26 January 2026 | 5 hours 53 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 26 May 2026 | 4 hours 59 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 21 July 2026 | 4 hours 46 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why AA 1019 runs late
Carrier accounts for 59% of the 2,854 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 59%Carrier
- 16%National Airspace System
- 13%Late-arriving aircraft
- 11%Extreme weather
Extreme weather accounts for 11% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 1.9 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 2,854 delay minutes reported on AA 1019.
Cancellations sit at 1.92% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.55%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.4% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% 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.
The 1,438 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.
Every one of the 365 flights under AA 1019 in the data flew SJC to DFW. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 365 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.
What to do with this
Booking AA 1019
For a booking, read AA 1019 as 91.3% on time with 1.92% cancelled over 365 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
