AA 2770 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 14 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs an hour and a half. That rests on 335 flights, with a median arrival 15 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, AA 2770's record is 14 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 135 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 335 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 15 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 2770 flies
AA 2770 flies ATL to DFW without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 05:31, used on 80 of 335 flights, with 06:04 (44 flights) and 06:07 (40 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

- Departs 06:0444 flights13.1%
- Departs 06:0740 flights11.9%
Scale runs 0% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 05:31 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and AA 2770 runs level with that at 91.1%. 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 2770 quarter by quarter
Quarter by quarter AA 2770 held fairly steady: 91.9% in Jul–Sep 2025, 88.6% in Oct–Dec 2025, 93.8% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 90.8% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 5 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.
- Jul–Sep 202588 flights91.9%
- Oct–Dec 202589 flights88.6%
- Jan–Mar 202667 flights93.8%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights90.8%
Scale runs 80% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, AA 2770 did best on Tuesday at 97.8% on time and worst on Monday at 81.2%. Each day rests on about 48 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why AA 2770 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 74% of the 2,452 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.
- 74%Carrier
- 26%National Airspace System
- 1%Security
The largest share of delay minutes, 74%, 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 1,805 of the 2,452 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,452 delay minutes reported on AA 2770.
Cancellations sit at 2.09% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.90%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 2.5% 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 731 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 one other city pair in the data, including RSW to DCA (10), but none flew often enough under AA 2770 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to ATL to DFW only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 335 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 2770
For a booking, read AA 2770 as 91.1% on time with 2.09% cancelled over 335 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
