MQ 4033 earns an A+. Close to nine flights in ten arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 14 points better than the national rate of 77.3%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs an hour and a half. That rests on 364 flights, with a median arrival 10 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, MQ 4033's record is 14 points better than the US average of 77.3%. That gap is worth roughly 144 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 364 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 10 minutes early, which is the part an average hides: most flights here are fine, and the on-time rate is decided by a tail of badly late ones. On-time means under 15 minutes late, the DOT's own threshold.

Schedule
When MQ 4033 flies
MQ 4033 flies XNA to PHX without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 08:27, used on 66 of 364 flights, with 08:15 (57 flights) and 08:18 (54 flights) next.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 08:27 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 83.9%, and MQ 4033 runs 8 points better at 91.7%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year
MQ 4033 quarter by quarter
Quarter by quarter MQ 4033 held fairly steady: 89.1% in Oct–Dec 2025, 96.6% in Jan–Mar 2026, 90.1% in Apr–Jun 2026 and 93.5% in Jul–Sep 2026. A spread of 8 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.
- Jul–Sep 202529 flights—
- Oct–Dec 202592 flights89.1%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights96.6%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights90.1%

Scale runs 80% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, MQ 4033 did best on Saturday at 100.0% on time and worst on Monday at 83.0%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

The worst days
Worst days for MQ 4033
The latest arrival of the period was on 23 January 2026, 14 hours 2 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 23 January 2026 | 14 hours 2 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 21 September 2025 | 3 hours 41 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 1 December 2025 | 3 hours 8 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 30 October 2025 | 2 hours 26 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 8 June 2026 | 2 hours 23 minutes | Extreme weather |
Delay causes
Why MQ 4033 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 57% of the 2,629 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 57%Late-arriving aircraft
- 19%Carrier
- 15%Extreme weather
- 9%National Airspace System
Extreme weather accounts for 15% 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 2.4 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 2,629 delay minutes reported on MQ 4033.
Cancellations are rare at 0.55%, 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
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 2.8% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.
The 1,023 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 364 flights under MQ 4033 in the data flew XNA to PHX. 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. 364 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 4033
For a booking, MQ 4033 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 91.7% on time and 0.55% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
