MQ 4087 lands a B, 2 points better than the national rate of 77.3%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by a little over an hour on average. That rests on 311 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.

These figures cover 311 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 8 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 4087 flies
MQ 4087 flies CLT to XNA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 18:05, used on 83 of 311 flights, with 19:40 (37 flights) and 22:30 (36 flights) next.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 18:05 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.0%, and MQ 4087 runs 11 points better at 79.4%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year
MQ 4087 quarter by quarter
MQ 4087 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 85.2% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 69.4%, a swing of 16 points on roughly 62 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.

- Oct–Dec 202587 flights79.3%
- Jan–Mar 202686 flights85.2%
- Apr–Jun 202646 flights80.4%

Scale runs 60% to 90%.
By weekday, MQ 4087 did best on Wednesday at 97.7% on time and worst on Sunday at 61.9%. Each day rests on about 44 flights, so a gap of 36 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Arrival by arrival
How late MQ 4087 runs when it is late
MQ 4087 often beats the schedule: 102 of 306 completed flights, 33%, arrived 15 minutes or more early. The 63 late arrivals split 22 under half an hour, 20 between 30 and 60 minutes, and 21 an hour or more.

Share of 306 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
13 of 58 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 22% of them. In the other direction, 18 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 XNA.
The worst days
Worst days for MQ 4087
The latest arrival of the period was on 6 March 2026, 11 hours 48 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The five worst days are spread across March, November, June, July and August, with no single month standing out.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 6 March 2026 | 11 hours 48 minutes | Carrier |
| 10 November 2025 | 11 hours 32 minutes | Carrier |
| 18 June 2026 | 4 hours 22 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 11 July 2026 | 3 hours 59 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 2 August 2026 | 3 hours 12 minutes | Extreme weather |
Delay causes
Why MQ 4087 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 5,111 reported delay minutes.
- 40%Carrier
- 34%Late-arriving aircraft
- 13%National Airspace System
- 13%Extreme weather
Extreme weather accounts for 13% 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 2.2 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 5,111 delay minutes reported on MQ 4087.
Cancellations sit at 1.61% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
6.9% 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 a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 754 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.
The same number turns up on four other city pairs in the data, including ATL to DCA (37), DCA to ATL (37) and BOS to DCA (1), but none flew often enough under MQ 4087 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to CLT to XNA only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 311 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 4087
For a booking, read MQ 4087 as 79.4% on time with 1.61% cancelled over 311 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
