These figures cover 325 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 12 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.

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 90.6%. 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 2435 quarter by quarter
AA 2435 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 98.1% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 86.9%, a swing of 11 points on roughly 81 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 2435 ranged from 85.1% on Saturday to 95.6% on Monday. With about 46 flights behind each day, a spread of 11 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

The worst days
Worst days for AA 2435
The latest arrival of the period was on 9 August 2026, 9 hours 16 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The five worst days are spread across August, November, June, September and May, with no single month standing out.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 9 August 2026 | 9 hours 16 minutes | Carrier |
| 21 November 2025 | 3 hours 24 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 19 June 2026 | 2 hours 42 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 27 September 2025 | 2 hours 27 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why AA 2435 runs late
Carrier accounts for 60% of the 2,524 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 60%Carrier
- 14%Late-arriving aircraft
- 14%National Airspace System
- 12%Extreme weather
Extreme weather accounts for 12% 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 2.0 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 2,524 delay minutes reported on AA 2435.
Cancellations sit at 0.92% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.62%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.1% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% 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.
The same number turns up on three other city pairs in the data, including PHX to DFW (25), ORD to SAT (2) and SAT to ORD (1), 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. 325 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: 90.6% on time and 0.92% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
