Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s YX 3403, check with Republic Airways. Republic Airways flies under contract for larger airlines, so a ticket for this flight may show a different airline code and number.

YX 3403 earns a B−. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 7 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs about 2.1 hours. That rests on 293 flights, with a median arrival 15 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, YX 3403's record is 7 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 66 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 293 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 8.2% 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 YX 3403 flies

YX 3403 flies EWR to PIT without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 19:10, used on 37 of 293 flights, with 19:29 (35 flights) and 19:05 (31 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 19:10 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and YX 3403 runs 16 points better at 84.2%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year

YX 3403 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter YX 3403 held fairly steady: 83.3% in Jul–Sep 2025, 82.9% in Oct–Dec 2025, 84.0% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 86.0% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 3 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

Jul–Sep 202542 flights83.3%
Oct–Dec 202575 flights82.9%
Jan–Mar 202685 flights84.0%
Apr–Jun 202691 flights86.0%

Scale runs 75% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, YX 3403 did best on Friday at 95.1% on time and worst on Wednesday at 73.8%. Each day rests on about 42 flights, so a gap of 21 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why YX 3403 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 51% of the 5,571 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.

Extreme weather
5%

51% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 5,571 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 11 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 5,571 delay minutes reported on YX 3403.

Cancellations run at 4.44%, against 1.81% 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

8.2% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says 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 same number turns up on six other city pairs in the data, including CHS to EWR (49), PWM to EWR (20) and ATL to EWR (19), but none flew often enough under YX 3403 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to EWR to PIT only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 293 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 YX 3403

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on YX 3403: 4.44% of its 293 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about 2.1 hours, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
