These figures cover 360 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 11.8% 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 5445 flies

OH 5445 flies CVG to DCA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 06:07, used on 57 of 360 flights, with 07:18 (39 flights) and 06:46 (38 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 06:07 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and OH 5445 runs 14 points worse at 74.9%. 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 5445 quarter by quarter

OH 5445 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 86.8% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 59.8%, a swing of 27 points on roughly 90 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 5445 did best on Sunday at 89.1% on time and worst on Friday at 63.5%. Each day rests on about 51 flights, so a gap of 26 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why OH 5445 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 63% 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, 63%, 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 6,277 of the 10,000 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 10,029 delay minutes reported on OH 5445.

Cancellations run at 3.61%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about 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

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 11.8% 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.

Every one of the 360 flights under OH 5445 in the data flew CVG to DCA. 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. 360 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 5445

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on OH 5445: 3.61% of its 360 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs close to two hours, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
