Share of 356 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
Time lost at the gate mostly stays lost. Of 52 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, only 6 made it up before arrival. 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 DFW.

Delay causes
Why AA 116 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 50% of the 7,560 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 50%Late-arriving aircraft
- 37%Carrier
- 9%National Airspace System
- 4%Extreme weather
50% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 7,560 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 13 to one. The split is drawn from 7,560 delay minutes reported on AA 116.
Cancellations sit at 1.64% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.82%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
9.0% 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.
At 3,710 miles this is transcontinental flying, and long routes get a quiet structural advantage. Scheduled block time on a flight this length carries more padding in absolute minutes, so a twenty-minute late departure often still becomes an on-time arrival. Read the on-time rate here as slightly flattering next to a short-haul route with the same operational quality.
Every one of the 365 flights under AA 116 in the data flew OGG 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 116
