Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OH 5353, 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 5353 earns a B. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 7 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs about 4.0 hours. That rests on 278 flights, with a median arrival 15 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, OH 5353's record is 7 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 70 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 278 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 8.1% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.

Schedule

When OH 5353 flies

OH 5353 flies PNS to CLT without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 05:23, used on 44 of 278 flights, with 07:21 (37 flights) and 06:42 (37 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

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

A 05:23 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and OH 5353 runs 5 points worse at 84.6%. 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 5353 quarter by quarter

OH 5353 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 90.2% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 71.7%, a swing of 19 points on roughly 70 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 202546 flights71.7%
Oct–Dec 202592 flights90.2%
Jan–Mar 202690 flights85.9%
Apr–Jun 202650 flights84.0%

Scale runs 65% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, OH 5353 ranged from 80.0% on Monday to 87.5% on Tuesday. With about 40 flights behind each day, a spread of 8 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why OH 5353 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 75% of the 10,000 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.

The largest share of delay minutes, 75%, 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 7,693 of the 10,000 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 10,198 delay minutes reported on OH 5353.

Cancellations sit at 1.80% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

8.1% 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 4.0 hours, which a normal layover absorbs.

The same number turns up on three other city pairs in the data, including DFW to PNS (30), PNS to DFW (30) and GNV to CLT (12), but none flew often enough under OH 5353 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to PNS to CLT only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 278 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.
