Delay causes
Why OH 5632 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 52% of the 11,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 52%Late-arriving aircraft
- 33%Carrier
- 8%National Airspace System
- 7%Extreme weather
52% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 11,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 7 to one. The split is drawn from 10,709 delay minutes reported on OH 5632.
Cancellations run at 4.40%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly one flight in 25 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
16.7% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
Every one of the 364 flights under OH 5632 in the data flew PHL to ORF. 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. 364 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 5632
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on OH 5632: 4.40% of its 364 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.
