OH 5070 draws a D−. Roughly one flight in two arrives at least 15 minutes late, and the typical late arrival is an hour and a half behind schedule. Build slack into anything you connect to. That rests on 354 flights, with a median arrival 2 minutes late.
The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so OH 5070 runs 19 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 190 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 354 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 20.8% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.
Schedule
When OH 5070 flies
OH 5070 flies HPN to CLT without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 18:59, used on 85 of 354 flights, with 18:54 (58 flights) and 18:40 (37 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 18:59 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and OH 5070 runs 10 points worse at 58.6%. 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
OH 5070 quarter by quarter
OH 5070 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 67.5% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 53.8%, a swing of 14 points on roughly 89 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.

By weekday, OH 5070 did best on Saturday at 69.4% on time and worst on Friday at 52.1%. Each day rests on about 51 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why OH 5070 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 82% of the 13,000 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.
- 82%Late-arriving aircraft
- 8%National Airspace System
- 7%Carrier
- 2%Extreme weather
82% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 13,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 42 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 12,828 delay minutes reported on OH 5070.
Cancellations run at 6.50%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about one flight in fifteen 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
For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 20.8% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The 564 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. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.
Every one of the 354 flights under OH 5070 in the data flew HPN to CLT. 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. 354 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 OH 5070
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on OH 5070: 6.50% of its 354 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs an hour and a half, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
