Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OH 5153, check with PSA Airlines. PSA Airlines flies under contract for larger airlines, so a ticket for this flight may show a different airline code and number.

OH 5153 lands a B−, 6 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in six arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by close to two hours on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 345 flights, with a median arrival 15 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, OH 5153's record is 6 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 59 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 345 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 15 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 OH 5153 flies

OH 5153 flies CRW to DCA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 06:00, used on 167 of 345 flights, with 05:30 (36 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 06:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and OH 5153 runs 6 points worse at 83.5%. 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

OH 5153 quarter by quarter

OH 5153 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 90.7% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 71.4%, a swing of 19 points on roughly 86 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 202592 flights90.7%
Oct–Dec 202577 flights82.2%
Jan–Mar 202685 flights71.4%
Apr–Jun 202691 flights87.4%

Scale runs 65% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, OH 5153 ranged from 80.9% on Wednesday to 85.7% on Saturday. With about 49 flights behind each day, a spread of 5 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why OH 5153 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 44% of the 6,219 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.

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 6,219 delay minutes reported on OH 5153.

Cancellations run at 8.41%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about one flight in twelve 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

6.6% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last close to two hours, which a normal layover absorbs.

The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including BNA to PHL (16), but none flew often enough under OH 5153 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to CRW to DCA only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 345 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 5153

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on OH 5153: 8.41% of its 345 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs close to two hours, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
