Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AA 1060, check with American Airlines.

AA 1060 draws a D−. Roughly one flight in three arrives at least 15 minutes late, and the typical late arrival is a little over an hour behind schedule. Build slack into anything you connect to. That rests on 302 flights, with a median arrival 6 minutes late.

The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so AA 1060 runs 17 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 175 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 302 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 13.6% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.

Schedule

When AA 1060 flies

AA 1060 flies CLT to LGA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 18:16, used on 51 of 302 flights, with 18:04 (44 flights) and 17:30 (37 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.

A 18:16 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and AA 1060 runs 8 points worse at 60.1%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Against the route

AA 1060 next to CLT to LGA

Every carrier on CLT to LGA combined arrived on time 72.1% of the time across 4,332 flights, so AA 1060 is 12 points behind it. American flew 2,802 flights on the same city pair under all its flight numbers, including this one, and those ran 68.9% on time. Across its whole network American Airlines managed 74.4%, which this flight trails by 14 points.

Across the year

AA 1060 quarter by quarter

AA 1060 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 72.9% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 52.4%, a swing of 21 points on roughly 76 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.

Oct–Dec 202561 flights67.8%
Jan–Mar 202665 flights72.9%

Scale runs 45% to 80%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, AA 1060 did best on Saturday at 70.0% on time and worst on Thursday at 50.0%. Each day rests on about 43 flights, so a gap of 20 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why AA 1060 runs late

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 8,781 reported delay minutes.

National Airspace System
36%
Late-arriving aircraft
31%
Carrier
17%
Extreme weather
16%

Extreme weather accounts for 16% 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 2.5 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 8,781 delay minutes reported on AA 1060.

Cancellations run at 4.64%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about one flight in twenty cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 13.6% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.

The 544 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. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.

The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including ORD to SJU (26), but none flew often enough under AA 1060 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to CLT to LGA only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 302 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 1060

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 1060: 4.64% of its 302 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs a little over an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
