Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OH 5234, 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 5234 earns an A. Close to nine flights in ten arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 11 points better than the national rate of 77.6%.

These figures cover 309 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 17 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 5234 flies

OH 5234 flies DAY to CLT without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 06:31, used on 41 of 309 flights, with 07:29 (37 flights) and 06:30 (32 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Scale runs 0% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.

A 06:31 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and OH 5234 runs level with that at 88.5%. 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 5234 quarter by quarter

OH 5234 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 95.2% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 82.1%, a swing of 13 points on roughly 77 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 202564 flights95.2%
Oct–Dec 202584 flights82.1%
Jan–Mar 202677 flights87.8%
Apr–Jun 202684 flights90.5%

Scale runs 75% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, OH 5234 did best on Friday at 95.7% on time and worst on Saturday at 82.6%. Each day rests on about 44 flights, so a gap of 13 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why OH 5234 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 44% of the 3,559 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.

Carrier
44%
Late-arriving aircraft
25%
Extreme weather
23%
National Airspace System
7%

Extreme weather accounts for 23% 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 3.7 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 3,559 delay minutes reported on OH 5234.

Cancellations sit at 1.29% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.9% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.

The same number turns up on two other city pairs in the data, including DFW to SHV (33) and SHV to DFW (33), but none flew often enough under OH 5234 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DAY to CLT only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 309 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 5234

For a booking, OH 5234 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 88.5% on time and 1.29% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
