These figures cover 256 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.

Across the year

A late pushback is often recovered here: of 32 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, 13 still arrived on time. In the other direction, 21 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 ATL.

Delay causes
Why F9 1116 runs late

- 47%Late-arriving aircraft
- 32%Carrier
- 20%National Airspace System
47% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 3,428 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 47 to one. The split is drawn from 3,428 delay minutes reported on F9 1116.
Cancellations sit at 1.95% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.39%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.0% 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.
At 1,747 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 256 flights under F9 1116 in the data flew LAS to ATL. 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. 256 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.
