Share of 299 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
Time lost at the gate mostly stays lost. Of 34 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, only 4 made it up before arrival. In the other direction, 20 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 LAX.

The latest arrival of the period was on 12 April 2026, 17 hours 56 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on five of the five worst days.

Delay causes
Why OO 6290 runs late
Carrier accounts for 95% of the 6,358 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 95%Carrier
- 3%Late-arriving aircraft
- 2%National Airspace System
The largest share of delay minutes, 95%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 6,027 of the 6,358 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 6,358 delay minutes reported on OO 6290.
Cancellations are rare at 0.66%, 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
8.0% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about 2.1 hours, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 833 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.
Every one of the 302 flights under OO 6290 in the data flew PDX to LAX. 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. 302 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
