AA 2693 sits in the middle of the pack with a C. About seven flights in ten arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 6 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land about an hour behind schedule. That rests on 280 flights, with a median arrival 3 minutes early.

The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so AA 2693 runs 6 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 62 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 280 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 8.8% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.

Schedule

When AA 2693 flies

AA 2693 flies DFW to RDU without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 11:20, used on 47 of 280 flights, with 11:01 (43 flights) and 13:16 (37 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 11:20 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and AA 2693 runs 7 points worse at 71.4%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

AA 2693 quarter by quarter

AA 2693 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 79.3% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 62.4%, a swing of 17 points on roughly 93 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 2693 did best on Friday at 85.0% on time and worst on Sunday at 55.3%. Each day rests on about 40 flights, so a gap of 30 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why AA 2693 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 53% of the 4,950 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.

53% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 4,950 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 9 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 4,950 delay minutes reported on AA 2693.

Cancellations run at 2.50%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about one flight in 40 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

8.8% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

The 1,061 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.

AA 2693 is not only a DFW to RDU flight. It also flew RDU to DFW (278 flights, 68.7% on time) often enough to be scored on its own. Airlines attach one number to several legs of an aircraft's day, and each leg keeps its own record here, so check which city pair is on your booking before reading a rate.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 280 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 2693
