These figures cover 358 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.

Delay causes
Why OH 5386 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 43% of the 5,231 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 43%Late-arriving aircraft
- 38%Carrier
- 15%Extreme weather
- 3%National Airspace System
- 2%Security
Extreme weather accounts for 15% 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 5,231 delay minutes reported on OH 5386.
Cancellations run at 3.07%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly one flight in 30 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 4.6% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% 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.
Every one of the 358 flights under OH 5386 in the data flew MLB to CLT. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 358 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 5386
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on OH 5386: 3.07% of its 358 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.
