Across the year
AA 2752 quarter by quarter
AA 2752 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 67.1% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 53.3%, a swing of 14 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.

By weekday, AA 2752 did best on Tuesday at 78.0% on time and worst on Sunday at 47.9%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 30 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Share of 351 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
30 of 145 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 21% of them. In the other direction, 19 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at DCA.

The latest arrival of the period was on 14 February 2026, 13 hours 38 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. On three of the five worst days the largest share was filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage).

Delay causes
Why AA 2752 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 48% of the 9,630 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 48%Late-arriving aircraft
- 32%Carrier
- 13%National Airspace System
- 7%Extreme weather
48% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 9,630 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 7 to one. The split is drawn from 9,630 delay minutes reported on AA 2752.
Cancellations run at 3.04%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly one flight in 30 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
13.4% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The 1,192 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.
Every one of the 362 flights under AA 2752 in the data flew DFW to DCA. 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. 362 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 2752
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 2752: 3.04% of its 362 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs a little over an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
