Delay causes
Why F9 2231 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 72% of the 4,616 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.
- 72%Late-arriving aircraft
- 22%Carrier
- 6%National Airspace System
- 0%Extreme weather
72% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 4,616 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 72 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 4,616 delay minutes reported on F9 2231.
Cancellations sit at 1.38% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
8.4% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says 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.
Every one of the 290 flights under F9 2231 in the data flew LAS to ONT. 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. 290 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 F9 2231
For a booking, read F9 2231 as 78.0% on time with 1.38% cancelled over 290 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
