Delay causes
Why AA 1935 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 58% of the 8,172 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 58%Late-arriving aircraft
- 31%Carrier
- 8%National Airspace System
- 3%Extreme weather
58% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 8,172 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 17 to one. The split is drawn from 8,172 delay minutes reported on AA 1935.
Cancellations run at 2.53%, 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
12.7% 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 same number turns up on two other city pairs in the data, including MEM to DFW (119) and DFW to MCI (3), but none flew often enough under AA 1935 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DFW to MEM only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 356 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 1935
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 1935: 2.53% of its 356 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
