Delay causes
Why UA 1190 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 60% of the 7,052 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 60%Late-arriving aircraft
- 20%Carrier
- 12%National Airspace System
- 8%Extreme weather
60% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 7,052 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 8 to one. The split is drawn from 7,052 delay minutes reported on UA 1190.
Cancellations run at 4.36%, 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
12.5% 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 937 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 six other city pairs in the data, including PHX to EWR (79), EWR to MIA (21) and LAX to LAS (3), but none flew often enough under UA 1190 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to EWR to MCO only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 275 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 UA 1190
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on UA 1190: 4.36% of its 275 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs an hour and a half, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
