Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OH 5359, 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 5359 earns an A−. Close to nine flights in ten arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 14 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs about 3.3 hours. That rests on 280 flights, with a median arrival 16 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, OH 5359's record is 14 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 138 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 280 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 5359 flies
OH 5359 flies JAN to DCA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 06:00, used on 60 of 280 flights, with 06:35 (42 flights) and 06:47 (30 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 06:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and OH 5359 runs 2 points better at 91.4%. 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 5359 quarter by quarter
Quarter by quarter OH 5359 held fairly steady: 94.7% in Jul–Sep 2025, 87.9% in Oct–Dec 2025, 90.8% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 91.5% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 7 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.
- Jul–Sep 202579 flights94.7%
- Oct–Dec 202566 flights87.9%
- Jan–Mar 202670 flights90.8%

Scale runs 80% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, OH 5359 did best on Thursday at 97.8% on time and worst on Sunday at 78.1%. Each day rests on about 40 flights, so a gap of 20 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why OH 5359 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 4,545 reported delay minutes.
- 34%Carrier
- 29%Extreme weather
- 28%Late-arriving aircraft
- 8%National Airspace System
- 0%Security
Extreme weather accounts for 29% 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 4.7 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 4,545 delay minutes reported on OH 5359.
Cancellations run at 4.64%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about 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
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.9% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.
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. 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 two other city pairs in the data, including DSM to CLT (19) and DFW to BTR (6), 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. 280 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: 4.64% of its 280 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about 3.3 hours, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
