These figures cover 362 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 12 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.

Across the year
AA 1444 quarter by quarter
AA 1444 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 90.1% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 78.7%, 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.

By weekday, AA 1444 did best on Monday at 93.6% on time and worst on Sunday at 77.1%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 31 March 2026 | 29 hours 52 minutes | Carrier |
| 7 March 2026 | 13 hours 20 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 30 January 2026 | 11 hours 54 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why AA 1444 runs late
Carrier accounts for 64% of the 8,345 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 64%Carrier
- 23%Late-arriving aircraft
- 12%National Airspace System
- 2%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 64%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 5,329 of the 8,345 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 8,345 delay minutes reported on AA 1444.
Cancellations run at 3.87%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 25 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
7.8% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about 2.6 hours, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 542 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 two other city pairs in the data, including PHX to PHL (2) and DAB to CLT (1), but none flew often enough under AA 1444 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to JFK to CLT only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 362 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 1444
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 1444: 3.87% of its 362 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about 2.6 hours, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
