Schedule
When OH 5606 flies
OH 5606 flies CLT to HPN without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 14:49, used on 79 of 358 flights, with 14:50 (50 flights) and 14:56 (43 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 14:49 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and OH 5606 runs level with that at 73.6%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year
OH 5606 quarter by quarter
OH 5606 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 82.4% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 67.9%, a swing of 15 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.

- Oct–Dec 202591 flights71.1%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights72.3%

By weekday, OH 5606 did best on Friday at 82.7% on time and worst on Sunday at 62.5%. Each day rests on about 51 flights, so a gap of 20 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why OH 5606 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 42% of the 7,537 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.
- 42%Late-arriving aircraft
- 35%Carrier
- 11%National Airspace System
- 11%Extreme weather
Extreme weather accounts for 11% 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 1.8 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 7,537 delay minutes reported on OH 5606.
Cancellations sit at 1.96% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.84%.
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. 12.1% 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 564 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.
Every one of the 358 flights under OH 5606 in the data flew CLT to HPN. 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 5606
For a booking, OH 5606 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 12.1% of its completed flights arrived an hour or more late, which a short layover will not absorb. If the onward flight is on a separate ticket, the risk sits with you.
