Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AA 1412, check with American Airlines.
AA 1412 earns an A. Close to nine flights in ten arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 10 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs close to two hours. That rests on 365 flights, with a median arrival 9 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, AA 1412's record is 10 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 102 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 365 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 9 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.
Schedule
When AA 1412 flies
AA 1412 flies ONT to DFW without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 06:10, used on 174 of 365 flights, with 06:00 (81 flights) and 07:00 (65 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 06:10 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and AA 1412 runs level with that at 87.8%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year
AA 1412 quarter by quarter
AA 1412 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 93.3% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 82.2%, 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.

- Oct–Dec 202592 flights93.3%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights88.2%

By weekday, AA 1412 did best on Thursday at 96.1% on time and worst on Tuesday at 82.7%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 13 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why AA 1412 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 62% of the 4,978 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.
- 62%Carrier
- 17%Late-arriving aircraft
- 11%Extreme weather
- 9%National Airspace System
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 1.8 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 4,978 delay minutes reported on AA 1412.
Cancellations sit at 1.92% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 1.37%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
5.4% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last close to two hours, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 1,188 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.
Every one of the 365 flights under AA 1412 in the data flew ONT 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 1412
