MQ 3627 sits in the middle of the pack with a C. About seven flights in ten arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 7 points worse than the national rate of 77.3%. The late ones land a little over an hour behind schedule. That rests on 362 flights, with a median arrival 6 minutes early.
The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.3%, so MQ 3627 runs 7 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 66 extra late arrivals.

Across the year
MQ 3627 quarter by quarter
MQ 3627 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 76.7% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 63.3%, a swing of 13 points on roughly 91 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.

Scale runs 55% to 80%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, MQ 3627 did best on Saturday at 81.2% on time and worst on Sunday at 60.0%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 21 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Share of 352 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
19 of 87 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 22% of them. In the other direction, 35 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 LIT.
The worst days
Worst days for MQ 3627
The latest arrival of the period was on 11 June 2026, 4 hours 35 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as extreme weather. The same cause led on three of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 11 June 2026 | 4 hours 35 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 30 January 2026 | 4 hours 25 minutes | Carrier |
| 6 August 2026 | 4 hours 9 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 12 June 2026 | 4 hours | Extreme weather |
| 27 August 2026 | 3 hours 58 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
Delay causes
Why MQ 3627 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 7,000 reported delay minutes.
- 34%Late-arriving aircraft
- 24%National Airspace System
- 22%Extreme weather
- 20%Carrier
- 0%Security
Extreme weather accounts for 22% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 3.7 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 7,000 delay minutes reported on MQ 3627.
Cancellations sit at 1.93% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.83%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
10.5% 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.
The 888 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 362 flights under MQ 3627 in the data flew DCA to LIT. 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. 362 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 3627
For a booking, read MQ 3627 as 70.7% on time with 1.93% cancelled over 362 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
