Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AA 2435, check with American Airlines.
AA 2435 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 13 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs a little over an hour. That rests on 299 flights, with a median arrival 11 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, AA 2435's record is 13 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 132 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 299 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 2435 flies
AA 2435 flies SAV to DFW without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:00, used on 146 of 299 flights, with 07:29 (32 flights) and 07:15 (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 07:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and AA 2435 runs level with that at 90.8%. 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

By weekday, AA 2435 ranged from 86.0% on Saturday to 95.2% on Monday. With about 43 flights behind each day, a spread of 9 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.
Delay causes
Why AA 2435 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 52% of the 1,977 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.
- 52%Carrier
- 17%National Airspace System
- 16%Late-arriving aircraft
- 15%Extreme weather
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 1,977 delay minutes reported on AA 2435.
Cancellations sit at 1.00% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.33%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.7% 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 925 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 three other city pairs in the data, including ORD to SAT (27), PHX to DFW (25) and SAT to ORD (15), but none flew often enough under AA 2435 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to SAV to DFW only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 299 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 2435
For a booking, AA 2435 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 90.8% on time and 1.00% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
