The latest arrival of the period was on 6 March 2026, 17 hours behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on three of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 6 March 2026 | 17 hours | Carrier |
| 16 March 2026 | 11 hours 43 minutes | Carrier |
| 29 November 2025 | 6 hours 29 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why OO 6515 runs late
Carrier accounts for 49% of the 5,481 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 49%Carrier
- 41%Late-arriving aircraft
- 5%Extreme weather
- 4%National Airspace System
- 1%Security
41% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 5,481 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 7 to one. The split is drawn from 5,481 delay minutes reported on OO 6515.
Cancellations are rare at 0.00%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Almost no flights are called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
8.2% 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 an hour and a half, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 677 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.
The same number turns up on two other city pairs in the data, including STL to PHX (9) and ORD to STL (1), but none flew often enough under OO 6515 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to LAX to ABQ only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 281 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.
