Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AA 2464, check with American Airlines.

AA 2464 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 12 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs about 2.3 hours. That rests on 301 flights, with a median arrival 14 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, AA 2464's record is 12 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 115 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 301 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 14 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 2464 flies

AA 2464 flies SMF to CLT without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 22:29, used on 66 of 301 flights, with 22:22 (44 flights) and 22:03 (41 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 22:29 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and AA 2464 runs 19 points better at 89.1%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Against the route

AA 2464 next to SMF to CLT

Every carrier on SMF to CLT combined arrived on time 88.4% of the time across 456 flights, so AA 2464 is about level with it. Across its whole network American Airlines managed 74.4%, which this flight beats by 15 points.

Across the year

AA 2464 quarter by quarter

AA 2464 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 96.1% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 74.5%, a swing of 22 points on roughly 75 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 2464 did best on Wednesday at 95.2% on time and worst on Saturday at 78.9%. Each day rests on about 43 flights, so a gap of 16 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why AA 2464 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 64% of the 4,418 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.

The largest share of delay minutes, 64%, 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 2,835 of the 4,418 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 4,418 delay minutes reported on AA 2464.

Cancellations sit at 2.33% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

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.

At 2,244 miles this is transcontinental flying, and long routes get a quiet structural advantage. Scheduled block time on a flight this length carries more padding in absolute minutes, so a twenty-minute late departure often still becomes an on-time arrival. Read the on-time rate here as slightly flattering next to a short-haul route with the same operational quality.

The same number turns up on three other city pairs in the data, including CLT to SMF (163), SNA to PHX (36) and DFW to ONT (7), but none flew often enough under AA 2464 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to SMF to CLT only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 301 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 2464

For a booking, read AA 2464 as 89.1% on time with 2.33% cancelled over 301 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
