Delay causes
Why OH 5305 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 53% of the 11,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 53%Late-arriving aircraft
- 19%Carrier
- 14%Extreme weather
- 14%National Airspace System
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 2.4 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 10,576 delay minutes reported on OH 5305.
Cancellations run at 4.62%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly one flight in twenty 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
24.2% 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 CAK to DCA (15) and MEM to DCA (5), but none flew often enough under OH 5305 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DCA to CAK 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.
What to do with this
Booking OH 5305
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on OH 5305: 4.62% of its 260 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.
