These figures cover 308 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 9 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.

A 10:30 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 83.9%, and AS 716 runs 4 points better at 88.0%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year
AS 716 quarter by quarter
AS 716 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 95.6% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 77.4%, a swing of 18 points on roughly 77 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.

The worst days
Worst days for AS 716
The latest arrival of the period was on 6 January 2026, 5 hours 24 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on three of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 6 January 2026 | 5 hours 24 minutes | Carrier |
| 4 March 2026 | 3 hours 56 minutes | Carrier |
| 30 January 2026 | 2 hours 31 minutes | Carrier |
| 24 August 2026 | 1 hour 24 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 9 July 2026 | 1 hour 3 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
Delay causes
Why AS 716 runs late
Carrier accounts for 49% of the 1,808 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 49%Carrier
- 26%National Airspace System
- 25%Late-arriving aircraft
The largest share of delay minutes, 49%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 880 of the 1,808 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 1,808 delay minutes reported on AS 716.
Cancellations are rare at 0.00%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Almost no flights are 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 1.9% 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 1,010 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 one other city pair in the data, including PDX to ONT (2), but none flew often enough under AS 716 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to PDX to PHX only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 308 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 716
For a booking, AS 716 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 88.0% on time and 0.00% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
