Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OH 5417, 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 5417 lands a B, 5 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in six arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by about 2.9 hours on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 299 flights, with a median arrival 16 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, OH 5417's record is 5 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 51 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 299 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 10.9% 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 5417 flies

OH 5417 flies CAK to CLT without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 08:26, used on 44 of 299 flights, with 08:28 (40 flights) and 08:30 (36 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 08:26 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and OH 5417 runs level with that at 82.7%. 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 5417 quarter by quarter

OH 5417 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 87.8% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 75.6%, a swing of 12 points on roughly 75 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.

By weekday, OH 5417 did best on Wednesday at 91.1% on time and worst on Thursday at 73.9%. Each day rests on about 43 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why OH 5417 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 88% of the 8,879 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.

Carrier
88%
National Airspace System
6%
Late-arriving aircraft
4%
Extreme weather
2%

The largest share of delay minutes, 88%, 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 7,773 of the 8,879 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 8,879 delay minutes reported on OH 5417.

Cancellations sit at 1.34% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.33%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 10.9% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum 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 CLT to SAV (44) and SAV to CLT (44), but none flew often enough under OH 5417 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to CAK to CLT only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 299 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.
