43% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 6,340 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 5 to one. The split is drawn from 6,340 delay minutes reported on AA 1962.
Cancellations sit at 2.25% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.56%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
8.7% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
Every one of the 356 flights under AA 1962 in the data flew CLT to PIT. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.
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 1962
