These figures cover 363 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 13 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.

| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 11 February 2026 | 34 hours 14 minutes | Carrier |
| 23 September 2025 | 15 hours 8 minutes | Carrier |
| 1 January 2026 | 11 hours 5 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why AA 2011 runs late
Carrier accounts for 76% of the 5,636 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 76%Carrier
- 17%Late-arriving aircraft
- 4%National Airspace System
- 3%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 76%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 4,262 of the 5,636 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 5,636 delay minutes reported on AA 2011.
Cancellations run at 2.75%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly 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
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.2% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% 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 912 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.
Every one of the 363 flights under AA 2011 in the data flew IAH to CLT. 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. 363 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 2011
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 2011: 2.75% of its 363 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about 3.5 hours, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
