These figures cover 258 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 18 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 1477 quarter by quarter

Worst days for AA 1477
The latest arrival of the period was on 9 January 2026, 4 hours 9 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on four of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 9 January 2026 | 4 hours 9 minutes | Carrier |
| 16 March 2026 | 3 hours 45 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 22 October 2025 | 3 hours 23 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why AA 1477 runs late
Carrier accounts for 77% of the 1,794 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 77%Carrier
- 12%Extreme weather
- 11%National Airspace System
- 0%Late-arriving aircraft
Extreme weather accounts for 12% 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 1.9 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 1,794 delay minutes reported on AA 1477.
Cancellations sit at 1.94% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.78%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.0% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.
The 547 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 ICT to DFW (1), but none flew often enough under AA 1477 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to SRQ to CLT only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 258 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 1477
For a booking, read AA 1477 as 91.6% on time with 1.94% cancelled over 258 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
