- 73%Carrier
- 12%Late-arriving aircraft
- 9%Extreme weather
- 6%National Airspace System
The largest share of delay minutes, 73%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 6,562 of the 9,018 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 9,018 delay minutes reported on OO 5348.
Cancellations are rare at 0.61%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
12.0% 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.
The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including IAH to CMH (5), but none flew often enough under OO 5348 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to LNK to DEN only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 328 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 5348
For a booking, OO 5348 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 12.0% 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.
