Share of 249 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
Time lost at the gate mostly stays lost. Of 80 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, only 8 made it up before arrival. In the other direction, 19 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 EWR.

Delay causes
Why B6 2144 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 46% of the 7,152 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 46%Late-arriving aircraft
- 40%National Airspace System
- 13%Carrier
- 1%Security
- 0%Extreme weather
46% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 7,152 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 46 to one. The split is drawn from 7,152 delay minutes reported on B6 2144.
Cancellations run at 3.47%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 30 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
17.7% 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 1,024 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 259 flights under B6 2144 in the data flew PBI to EWR. 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. 259 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 B6 2144
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on B6 2144: 3.47% of its 259 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs a little over an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
