The latest arrival of the period was on 22 May 2026, 23 hours 28 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). On three of the five worst days the largest share was filed as extreme weather.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 22 May 2026 | 23 hours 28 minutes | Carrier |
| 12 July 2026 | 8 hours 50 minutes | Extreme weather |

Delay causes
Why AA 2926 runs late
Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 6,447 reported delay minutes.
- 42%Late-arriving aircraft
- 31%Carrier
- 18%Extreme weather
- 9%National Airspace System
Extreme weather accounts for 18% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 3.0 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 6,447 delay minutes reported on AA 2926.
Cancellations run at 2.77%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly 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
11.2% 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.
The 813 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.
The same number turns up on eight other city pairs in the data, including DFW to TUS (177), OKC to PHX (37) and PHX to OKC (37), but none flew often enough under AA 2926 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to TUS to DFW only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 253 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 2926
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AA 2926: 2.77% of its 253 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs close to two hours, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
