Across the year
AA 2022 quarter by quarter
AA 2022 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 76.5% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 45.0%, a swing of 32 points on roughly 89 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.

By weekday, AA 2022 did best on Wednesday at 84.3% on time and worst on Friday at 48.1%. Each day rests on about 51 flights, so a gap of 36 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 15 March 2026 | 11 hours 10 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 19 July 2026 | 3 hours 13 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why AA 2022 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 47% of the 6,674 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 47%Late-arriving aircraft
- 27%Carrier
- 15%Extreme weather
- 11%National Airspace System
Extreme weather accounts for 15% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 2.5 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 6,674 delay minutes reported on AA 2022.
Cancellations sit at 2.25% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
10.4% 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 507 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 355 flights under AA 2022 in the data flew CLT to TPA. 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. 355 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.
