Across the year

Share of 258 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
19 of 65 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 29% of them. In the other direction, 17 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 AUS.
The worst days
Worst days for AA 2772
The latest arrival of the period was on 15 December 2025, 15 hours 41 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on five of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 15 December 2025 | 15 hours 41 minutes | Carrier |
| 31 October 2025 | 15 hours 27 minutes | Carrier |
| 6 September 2025 | 12 hours 32 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why AA 2772 runs late
Carrier accounts for 50% of the 9,740 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 50%Carrier
- 39%Late-arriving aircraft
- 9%National Airspace System
- 2%Extreme weather
39% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 9,740 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 20 to one. The split is drawn from 9,740 delay minutes reported on AA 2772.
Cancellations run at 5.78%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly one flight in fifteen 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
13.2% 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.
At 1,521 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 one other city pair in the data, including PHX to TPA (76), but none flew often enough under AA 2772 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to JFK to AUS only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 277 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 2772
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 2772: 5.78% of its 277 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about 2.6 hours, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
