Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AA 1911, check with American Airlines.
AA 1911 lands a B−, 6 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in six arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by roughly 50 minutes on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 365 flights, with a median arrival 7 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, AA 1911's record is 6 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 56 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 365 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 7 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 1911 flies
AA 1911 flies DFW to RNO without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 08:40, used on 87 of 365 flights, with 08:45 (54 flights) and 08:50 (44 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 08:40 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and AA 1911 runs level with that at 83.2%. 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 1911 next to DFW to RNO

Across the year
AA 1911 quarter by quarter
AA 1911 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 90.4% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 76.7%, a swing of 14 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.

Scale runs 70% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, AA 1911 did best on Tuesday at 90.2% on time and worst on Monday at 74.0%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 16 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why AA 1911 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 48% of the 2,831 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.
- 48%Carrier
- 23%Late-arriving aircraft
- 22%National Airspace System
- 7%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 48%, 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 1,370 of the 2,831 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,831 delay minutes reported on AA 1911.
Cancellations run at 3.29%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about 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
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.0% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% 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 1,345 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.
AA 1911 is not only a DFW to RNO flight. It also flew RNO to DFW (364 flights, 79.4% on time) often enough to be scored on its own. Airlines attach one number to several legs of an aircraft's day, and each leg keeps its own record here, so check which city pair is on your booking before reading a rate.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 365 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 1911
