These figures cover 276 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 13 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 5572 flies

OH 5572 flies LEX to CLT without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 11:21, used on 57 of 276 flights. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

A 11:21 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and OH 5572 runs 8 points better at 86.7%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Delay causes

Why OH 5572 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 74% of the 1,995 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.

  • Late-arriving aircraft
    74%
  • National Airspace System
    13%
  • Carrier
    11%
  • Extreme weather
    2%

74% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 1,995 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 45 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 1,995 delay minutes reported on OH 5572.

Cancellations sit at 1.81% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.8% 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.

OH 5572 is not only a LEX to CLT flight. It also flew CLT to LEX (253 flights, 85.8% on time) often enough to be scored on its own. Airlines attach one number to several legs of an aircraft's day, and each leg keeps its own record here, so check which city pair is on your booking before reading a rate.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 276 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.
