AA 1902 lands a B, 4 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by close to two hours on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 268 flights, with a median arrival 3 minutes early.

These figures cover 268 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 8.1% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.

Schedule

When AA 1902 flies

AA 1902 flies OKC to DFW without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 10:28, used on 58 of 268 flights, with 10:24 (54 flights) and 10:22 (49 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 10:28 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and AA 1902 runs 3 points worse at 81.1%. 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

Across the year

AA 1902 quarter by quarter

AA 1902 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 85.2% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 72.6%, a swing of 13 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 1902 did best on Sunday at 94.4% on time and worst on Thursday at 65.8%. Each day rests on about 38 flights, so a gap of 29 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why AA 1902 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 66% of the 5,544 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.

Extreme weather

66% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 5,544 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 8 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 5,544 delay minutes reported on AA 1902.

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

8.1% 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 same number turns up on four other city pairs in the data, including DFW to OKC (245), ORD to DFW (41) and CLT to BNA (37), but none flew often enough under AA 1902 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to OKC to DFW 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 1902

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 1902: 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.
