Delay causes
Why AA 2331 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 42% of the 5,321 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 42%Late-arriving aircraft
- 42%Carrier
- 12%National Airspace System
- 3%Extreme weather
- 1%Security
42% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 5,321 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 13 to one. The split is drawn from 5,321 delay minutes reported on AA 2331.
Cancellations run at 3.56%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 30 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
8.2% 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 close to two hours, which a normal layover absorbs.
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.
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: 3.56% 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.
