Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AA 693, check with American Airlines.

AA 693 lands a B+, 4 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. Roughly one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by an hour and a half on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 365 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, AA 693's record is 4 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 41 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 365 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 8 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 693 flies

AA 693 flies PHX to HNL without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 11:40, used on 110 of 365 flights, with 10:09 (53 flights) and 11:16 (44 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 11:40 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and AA 693 runs 3 points better at 81.7%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

AA 693 quarter by quarter

AA 693 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 91.2% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 68.9%, a swing of 22 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.

Jan–Mar 202690 flights79.5%

Scale runs 60% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, AA 693 ranged from 76.0% on Monday to 86.5% on Saturday. With about 52 flights behind each day, a spread of 11 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why AA 693 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 60% of the 5,531 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.

Carrier
60%
Late-arriving aircraft
23%
National Airspace System
17%

The largest share of delay minutes, 60%, 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 3,303 of the 5,531 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 5,531 delay minutes reported on AA 693.

Cancellations are rare at 0.27%, below the national 1.81% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.7% 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.

At 2,917 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.

Every one of the 365 flights under AA 693 in the data flew PHX to HNL. 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. 365 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.

Booking AA 693
