These figures cover 309 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 18 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.

The worst days
Worst days for OH 5234
The latest arrival of the period was on 1 November 2025, 9 hours 50 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The five worst days are spread across November, February, October and June, with no single month standing out.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 1 November 2025 | 9 hours 50 minutes | Carrier |
| 1 February 2026 | 5 hours 10 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 8 November 2025 | 4 hours 54 minutes | Extreme weather |

Delay causes
Why OH 5234 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 4,133 reported delay minutes.
- 39%Carrier
- 35%Late-arriving aircraft
- 20%Extreme weather
- 6%National Airspace System
Extreme weather accounts for 20% 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 3.3 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 4,133 delay minutes reported on OH 5234.
Cancellations sit at 1.62% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
6.2% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so 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 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, read OH 5234 as 87.5% on time with 1.62% cancelled over 309 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
