These figures cover 305 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 7 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.

Across the year
AA 694 quarter by quarter
Quarter by quarter AA 694 held fairly steady: 85.0% in Oct–Dec 2025, 80.0% in Jan–Mar 2026, 83.5% in Apr–Jun 2026 and 80.6% in Jul–Sep 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.

- Jan–Mar 202690 flights80.0%

By weekday, AA 694 did best on Wednesday at 90.5% on time and worst on Saturday at 72.1%. Each day rests on about 44 flights, so a gap of 18 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Share of 300 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
12 of 51 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 24% of them. In the other direction, 15 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 PHX.

Delay causes
Why AA 694 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 53% of the 5,822 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 53%Late-arriving aircraft
- 38%Carrier
- 9%National Airspace System
53% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 5,822 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 53 to one. The split is drawn from 5,822 delay minutes reported on AA 694.
Cancellations sit at 1.64% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
5.3% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last close to two hours, which a normal layover absorbs.
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 305 flights under AA 694 in the data flew HNL to PHX. 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. 305 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
