These figures cover 260 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 16 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 5300 flies
OH 5300 flies LFT to CLT without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:00, used on 118 of 260 flights, with 07:05 (58 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 07:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and OH 5300 runs level with that at 88.6%. 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 5300 quarter by quarter
OH 5300 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 100.0% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 81.2%, a swing of 19 points on roughly 87 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.

- Oct–Dec 202592 flights88.0%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights81.2%

Scale runs 75% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, OH 5300 ranged from 85.7% on Sunday to 91.7% on Tuesday. With about 37 flights behind each day, a spread of 6 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.
Delay causes
Why OH 5300 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 83% of the 4,680 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.
- 83%Carrier
- 9%Extreme weather
- 8%National Airspace System
The largest share of delay minutes, 83%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. Unlike weather, that is a management outcome, and it is the category where the gap between two carriers on the same schedule is genuinely earned. It accounts for 3,881 of the 4,680 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 4,680 delay minutes reported on OH 5300.
Cancellations sit at 1.92% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
6.7% 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 about 2.7 hours, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 729 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.
The same number turns up on five other city pairs in the data, including DCA to MYR (41), MYR to DCA (41) and ICT to DFW (27), but none flew often enough under OH 5300 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to LFT to CLT only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 260 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.
