Across the year
MQ 3572 quarter by quarter
MQ 3572 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2026 at 83.6% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 68.3%, a swing of 15 points on roughly 88 flights a quarter. The twelve-month rate averages over that, so if you are flying in a weak quarter the quarter's own figure is the better guide.
- Jul–Sep 202529 flights—
- Oct–Dec 202583 flights68.3%
- Jan–Mar 202686 flights70.9%
- Apr–Jun 202690 flights76.7%

Scale runs 60% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, MQ 3572 did best on Thursday at 88.2% on time and worst on Monday at 61.5%. Each day rests on about 50 flights, so a gap of 27 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Arrival by arrival

Share of 348 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
Time lost at the gate mostly stays lost. Of 62 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, only 1 made it up before arrival. In the other direction, 26 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 ORD.
The worst days
Worst days for MQ 3572
The latest arrival of the period was on 29 July 2026, 12 hours 56 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. The same cause led on four of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 29 July 2026 | 12 hours 56 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 18 October 2025 | 12 hours 24 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 17 July 2026 | 11 hours 49 minutes | Carrier |
| 21 December 2025 | 11 hours 47 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 6 February 2026 | 9 hours 34 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
Delay causes
Why MQ 3572 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 11,000 reported delay minutes.
- 38%Late-arriving aircraft
- 32%Carrier
- 24%National Airspace System
- 5%Extreme weather
38% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 11,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 7 to one. The split is drawn from 10,676 delay minutes reported on MQ 3572.
Cancellations are rare at 0.57%, 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
10.9% 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 350 flights under MQ 3572 in the data flew CMH to ORD. 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. 350 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 MQ 3572
For a booking, read MQ 3572 as 75.0% on time with 0.57% cancelled over 350 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
