Delay causes
Why B6 526 runs late

- 0%Extreme weather
56% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 4,876 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 56 to one. The split is drawn from 4,876 delay minutes reported on B6 526.

Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
11.5% 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.
At 1,636 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 268 flights under B6 526 in the data flew SJU to PVD. 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. 268 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
