AA 1060 draws a D−. Roughly one flight in two 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 5 minutes late.
The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.3%, so AA 1060 runs 18 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 182 extra late arrivals.

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 Jul–Sep 2026 at 40.4%, a swing of 33 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.

- Jan–Mar 202665 flights72.9%
- Apr–Jun 202685 flights52.4%

Scale runs 30% to 80%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, AA 1060 did best on Saturday at 69.2% on time and worst on Thursday at 47.6%. Each day rests on about 43 flights, so a gap of 22 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Share of 286 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
15 of 112 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 13% of them. In the other direction, 20 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at LGA.
The worst days
Worst days for AA 1060
The latest arrival of the period was on 4 September 2025, 10 hours 41 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 national airspace system delay.

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 8,754 reported delay minutes.
- 36%Late-arriving aircraft
- 32%National Airspace System
- 20%Extreme weather
- 12%Carrier
Extreme weather accounts for 20% 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 3.4 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 8,754 delay minutes reported on AA 1060.
Cancellations run at 4.64%, against 1.89% 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
16.4% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection 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.
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.
