These figures cover 297 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 10.8% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.

Schedule

When UA 1513 flies

UA 1513 flies EYW to EWR without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 14:26, used on 41 of 297 flights, with 14:25 (32 flights) and 14:35 (32 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.

A 14:26 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and UA 1513 runs level with that at 74.3%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

UA 1513 quarter by quarter

UA 1513 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 80.2% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 66.0%, a swing of 14 points on roughly 74 flights a quarter. The twelve-month rate averages over that, so if you are flying in a weak quarter the quarter's own figure is the better guide.

Oct–Dec 202567 flights67.7%
Jan–Mar 202690 flights80.2%

Scale runs 60% to 85%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, UA 1513 did best on Wednesday at 85.7% on time and worst on Sunday at 63.2%. Each day rests on about 42 flights, so a gap of 23 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why UA 1513 runs late

Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 7,899 reported delay minutes.

Late-arriving aircraft
39%
National Airspace System
31%
Extreme weather
16%
Carrier
14%

Extreme weather accounts for 16% 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 2.5 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 7,899 delay minutes reported on UA 1513.

Cancellations sit at 2.02% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 1.01%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 10.8% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.

The 1,196 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. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.

The same number turns up on six other city pairs in the data, including RNO to SFO (55), EWR to BUF (35) and EWR to CLE (27), but none flew often enough under UA 1513 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to EYW to EWR only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 297 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.
