Across the year
OH 5153 quarter by quarter

Share of 283 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
Time lost at the gate mostly stays lost. Of 39 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, only 3 made it up before arrival. In the other direction, 29 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 DCA.
The worst days
Worst days for OH 5153
The latest arrival of the period was on 11 November 2025, 11 hours 34 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on four of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |

| 11 November 2025 | 11 hours 34 minutes | Carrier |
| 14 December 2025 | 9 hours 9 minutes | Extreme weather |

Delay causes
Why OH 5153 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 6,663 reported delay minutes.
- 40%Carrier
- 26%Late-arriving aircraft
- 22%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 2.1 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 6,663 delay minutes reported on OH 5153.
Cancellations run at 9.58%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in ten 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
10.6% 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 same number turns up on two other city pairs in the data, including BNA to PHL (16) and PVD to DCA (5), 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. 313 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: 9.58% of its 313 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.
