These figures cover 365 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 9.3% 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 116 flies

AA 116 flies OGG to DFW without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 17:50, used on 83 of 365 flights, with 19:00 (73 flights) and 20:00 (56 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 17:50 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and AA 116 runs 12 points better at 80.6%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year

AA 116 quarter by quarter

AA 116 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 86.4% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 75.3%, a swing of 11 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.

Jan–Mar 202690 flights75.3%

Scale runs 65% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, AA 116 did best on Thursday at 86.3% on time and worst on Monday at 66.7%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 20 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why AA 116 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 62% of the 9,146 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.

Extreme weather

National Airspace System
8%

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 9,146 delay minutes reported on AA 116.

Cancellations sit at 1.64% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 1.10%.

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. 9.3% 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.

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.
