These figures cover 274 flights between September 2025 and August 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.

| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 21 November 2025 | 23 hours 33 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 12 January 2026 | 10 hours 16 minutes | Extreme weather |

Delay causes
Why OH 5359 runs late
Carrier accounts for 46% of the 4,664 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 46%Carrier
- 28%Late-arriving aircraft
- 17%Extreme weather
- 9%National Airspace System
- 0%Security
Extreme weather accounts for 17% 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 2.9 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 4,664 delay minutes reported on OH 5359.
Cancellations run at 5.47%, 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
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 about 2.8 hours, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 860 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.
The same number turns up on three other city pairs in the data, including DSM to CLT (19), DFW to BTR (6) and DCA to IAH (5), but none flew often enough under OH 5359 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to JAN to DCA only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 274 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 5359
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on OH 5359: 5.47% of its 274 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about 2.8 hours, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
