Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AA 2331, check with American Airlines.

AA 2331 lands a B−, about a point worse than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in four arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by close to two hours on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 253 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.

These figures cover 253 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 9.1% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.

Schedule

When AA 2331 flies

AA 2331 flies CLE to DFW without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:11, used on 60 of 253 flights, with 13:29 (54 flights) and 07:02 (32 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.

A 07:11 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and AA 2331 runs 13 points worse at 76.4%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Against the route

AA 2331 next to CLE to DFW

Across the year

AA 2331 quarter by quarter

AA 2331 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 83.3% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 64.8%, a swing of 19 points on roughly 63 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 2331 did best on Tuesday at 86.5% on time and worst on Sunday at 72.2%. Each day rests on about 36 flights, so a gap of 14 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why AA 2331 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 46% of the 5,927 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.

Carrier

Late-arriving aircraft
38%
National Airspace System

Security
1%

38% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 5,927 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 13 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 5,927 delay minutes reported on AA 2331.

Cancellations run at 3.95%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about one flight in 25 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

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 9.1% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.

The 1,021 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. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.

The same number turns up on four other city pairs in the data, including ORD to CID (44), DFW to CLE (26) and MCO to PHL (23), but none flew often enough under AA 2331 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to CLE to DFW only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 253 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 2331

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 2331: 3.95% of its 253 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs close to two hours, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
