AA 2017 earns a B. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 8 points better than the national rate of 77.3%.

These figures cover 365 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 11 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.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 07:30 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and AA 2017 runs 5 points worse at 84.8%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year
AA 2017 quarter by quarter
AA 2017 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 89.0% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 74.1%, a swing of 15 points on roughly 73 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.
- Jul–Sep 202530 flights86.7%
- Oct–Dec 202592 flights89.0%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights82.6%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights88.9%

Scale runs 65% to 95%.
By weekday, AA 2017 did best on Thursday at 88.5% on time and worst on Tuesday at 76.0%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 13 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Arrival by arrival
How late AA 2017 runs when it is late
AA 2017 often beats the schedule: 147 of 355 completed flights, 41%, arrived 15 minutes or more early. The 54 late arrivals split 22 under half an hour, 9 between 30 and 60 minutes, and 23 an hour or more.

Share of 355 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
8 of 44 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 18% of them. In the other direction, 18 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at MIA.
The worst days
Worst days for AA 2017
The latest arrival of the period was on 2 June 2026, 25 hours 53 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. The same cause led on five of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 2 June 2026 | 25 hours 53 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 24 January 2026 | 14 hours 15 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 10 July 2026 | 9 hours 12 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 9 August 2026 | 7 hours 56 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 28 July 2026 | 6 hours 20 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
Delay causes
Why AA 2017 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 50% of the 7,726 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 50%Late-arriving aircraft
- 36%Carrier
- 9%National Airspace System
- 4%Security
- 1%Extreme weather
50% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 7,726 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 47 to one. The split is drawn from 7,726 delay minutes reported on AA 2017.
Cancellations run at 2.74%, 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
6.5% 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 2.4 hours, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 1,089 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 365 flights under AA 2017 in the data flew JFK to MIA. 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. 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 2017
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 2017: 2.74% of its 365 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about 2.4 hours, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
