These figures cover 288 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 6 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.

The latest arrival of the period was on 11 August 2026, 6 hours 50 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. The same cause led on five of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 11 August 2026 | 6 hours 50 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 10 April 2026 | 4 hours 1 minute | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 10 November 2025 | 2 hours 51 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 8 May 2026 | 1 hour 58 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why AS 713 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 80% of the 2,324 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 80%Late-arriving aircraft
- 13%Carrier
- 7%National Airspace System
80% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 2,324 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 80 to one. The split is drawn from 2,324 delay minutes reported on AS 713.
Cancellations are rare at 0.35%, below the national 1.89% 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 3.5% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% 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 833 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.
Every one of the 288 flights under AS 713 in the data flew PDX to LAX. 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. 288 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 AS 713
For a booking, AS 713 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 86.1% on time and 0.35% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
