Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AA 1575, check with American Airlines.
AA 1575 earns a B. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 7 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 268 flights, with a median arrival 16 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, AA 1575's record is 7 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 73 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 268 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 16 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 1575 flies
AA 1575 flies EWR to CLT without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 08:00, used on 128 of 268 flights, with 05:05 (44 flights) and 07:30 (41 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 08:00 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and AA 1575 runs level with that at 84.9%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.
Against the route
AA 1575 next to EWR to CLT
Every carrier on EWR to CLT combined arrived on time 80.2% of the time across 3,753 flights, so AA 1575 is 5 points ahead of it. American flew 1,827 flights on the same city pair under all its flight numbers, including this one, and those ran 81.1% on time. Across its whole network American Airlines managed 74.4%, which this flight beats by 11 points.

Across the year
AA 1575 quarter by quarter
AA 1575 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 95.6% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 69.8%, a swing of 26 points on roughly 89 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 1575 did best on Friday at 89.5% on time and worst on Sunday at 75.0%. Each day rests on about 38 flights, so a gap of 15 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why AA 1575 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 54% of the 4,470 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.
- 54%Carrier
- 21%National Airspace System
- 15%Late-arriving aircraft
- 9%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 54%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. Unlike weather, that is a management outcome, and it is the category where the gap between two carriers on the same schedule is genuinely earned. It accounts for 2,413 of the 4,470 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 4,470 delay minutes reported on AA 1575.
Cancellations run at 2.99%, against 1.81% nationally. That is roughly one flight in 30 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
6.2% 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 529 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.
The same number turns up on four other city pairs in the data, including PHL to MSN (2), EUG to PHX (1) and MEM to PHX (1), but none flew often enough under AA 1575 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to EWR to CLT only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 268 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 1575
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 1575: 2.99% of its 268 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs close to two hours, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
