Share of 341 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
Time lost at the gate mostly stays lost. Of 134 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, only 13 made it up before arrival. In the other direction, 25 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at LNK.

Delay causes
Why OO 5314 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 43% of the 16,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 43%Late-arriving aircraft
- 27%Carrier
- 19%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 16,019 delay minutes reported on OO 5314.
Cancellations run at 4.70%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in twenty 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
21.1% 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 362 flights under OO 5314 in the data flew ORD to LNK. 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. 362 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 OO 5314
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on OO 5314: 4.70% of its 362 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.
