Delay causes
Why AA 1883 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 57% of the 8,116 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 57%Late-arriving aircraft
- 30%Carrier
- 9%National Airspace System
- 4%Extreme weather
57% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 8,116 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 14 to one. The split is drawn from 8,116 delay minutes reported on AA 1883.
Cancellations run at 2.64%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 40 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
15.4% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The 1,047 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 JAC to DFW (172) and ATL to MIA (1), but none flew often enough under AA 1883 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DFW to JAC only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 303 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 1883
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 1883: 2.64% of its 303 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs a little over an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
