Share of 318 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
Time lost at the gate mostly stays lost. Of 113 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, only 6 made it up before arrival. 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 DAY.

Delay causes
Why OH 5174 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 47% of the 11,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 47%Late-arriving aircraft
- 30%Carrier
- 14%Extreme weather
- 9%National Airspace System
- 1%Security
Extreme weather accounts for 14% 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 2.3 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 10,767 delay minutes reported on OH 5174.
Cancellations sit at 2.45% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
19.8% 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.
Every one of the 326 flights under OH 5174 in the data flew CLT to DAY. 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. 326 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 5174
For a booking, OH 5174 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 19.8% of its completed flights arrived an hour or more late, which a short layover will not absorb. If the onward flight is on a separate ticket, the risk sits with you.
