These figures cover 250 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 5572 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 75% of the 1,875 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 75%Late-arriving aircraft
- 12%National Airspace System
- 12%Carrier
- 1%Extreme weather
75% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 1,875 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 75 to one. The split is drawn from 1,875 delay minutes reported on OH 5572.
Cancellations run at 3.60%, against 1.89% 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
5.4% 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 an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
The same number turns up on three other city pairs in the data, including CLT to LEX (228), DCA to IND (51) and IND to DCA (51), but none flew often enough under OH 5572 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to LEX to CLT only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 250 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 5572
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on OH 5572: 3.60% of its 250 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
