AA 2425 earns an A−. Close to nine flights in ten arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 15 points better than the national rate of 77.6%.

Set against the rest of the country, AA 2425's record is 15 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 149 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 365 flights between July 2025 and June 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.
Schedule
When AA 2425 flies
AA 2425 flies PSP to DFW without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 06:00, used on 87 of 365 flights, with 06:14 (45 flights) and 07:00 (37 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

- Departs 07:0037 flights10.1%
Scale runs 0% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 06:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and AA 2425 runs 3 points better at 92.5%. 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 2425 quarter by quarter
AA 2425 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 97.8% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 85.1%, a swing of 13 points on roughly 91 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 202592 flights85.1%
- Oct–Dec 202592 flights97.8%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights90.7%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights96.5%
Scale runs 75% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, AA 2425 did best on Tuesday at 100.0% on time and worst on Wednesday at 87.5%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 13 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why AA 2425 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 70% of the 1,679 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.
- 70%Carrier
- 26%National Airspace System
- 3%Extreme weather
- 1%Security
The largest share of delay minutes, 70%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. Unlike weather, that is a management outcome, and it is the category where the gap between two carriers on the same schedule is genuinely earned. It accounts for 1,168 of the 1,679 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 1,679 delay minutes reported on AA 2425.
Cancellations run at 4.11%, 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
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.2% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% 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 1,126 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.
Every one of the 365 flights under AA 2425 in the data flew PSP to DFW. 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 2425
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 2425: 4.11% of its 365 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
