Delay causes
Why F9 3293 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 47% of the 4,182 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 47%Late-arriving aircraft
- 33%Carrier
- 19%National Airspace System
- 1%Extreme weather
47% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 4,182 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 47 to one. The split is drawn from 4,182 delay minutes reported on F9 3293.
Cancellations are rare at 0.56%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
6.0% 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 about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 1,199 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 355 flights under F9 3293 in the data flew ATL to DEN. 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. 355 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.
