Delay causes
Why B6 416 runs late
National Airspace System accounts for 44% of the 6,054 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 44%National Airspace System
- 41%Late-arriving aircraft
- 14%Carrier
41% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 6,054 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 41 to one. The split is drawn from 6,054 delay minutes reported on B6 416.
Cancellations run at 2.81%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly one flight in 40 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
8.4% 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 a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
At 2,586 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 356 flights under B6 416 in the data flew SFO to JFK. 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. 356 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 416
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on B6 416: 2.81% of its 356 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.
