OH 5612 earns an A. Close to nine flights in ten arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 14 points better than the national rate of 77.6%.

These figures cover 354 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 15 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 5612 flies
OH 5612 flies BTR to CLT without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:08, used on 45 of 354 flights, with 07:06 (44 flights) and 06:44 (41 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 07:08 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and OH 5612 runs 2 points better at 91.3%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Delay causes
Why OH 5612 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 83% of the 4,552 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.
- 83%Carrier
- 6%National Airspace System
- 6%Extreme weather
- 5%Late-arriving aircraft
The largest share of delay minutes, 83%, 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 3,787 of the 4,552 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 4,552 delay minutes reported on OH 5612.
Cancellations sit at 2.26% 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 4.3% 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.
The 675 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.
The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including BTR to DFW (1), but none flew often enough under OH 5612 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to BTR to CLT only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 354 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
