Delay causes
Why F9 3782 runs late
Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 6,800 reported delay minutes.
- 42%Late-arriving aircraft
- 38%Carrier
- 20%National Airspace System
42% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 6,800 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 42 to one. The split is drawn from 6,800 delay minutes reported on F9 3782.
Cancellations run at 2.67%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about 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
12.0% 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.
Every one of the 300 flights under F9 3782 in the data flew ATL to TPA. 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. 300 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 3782
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on F9 3782: 2.67% of its 300 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.
