Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s YX 3446, 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 3446 earns an A. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 9 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs a little over an hour. That rests on 324 flights, with a median arrival 14 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, YX 3446's record is 9 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 92 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 324 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 14 minutes early, which is the part an average hides: most flights here are fine, and the on-time rate is decided by a tail of badly late ones. On-time means under 15 minutes late, the DOT's own threshold.

Schedule

When YX 3446 flies

YX 3446 flies EWR to IND without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 11:30, used on 116 of 324 flights, with 11:54 (41 flights) and 11:40 (34 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 11:30 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and YX 3446 runs 8 points better at 86.8%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

YX 3446 quarter by quarter

YX 3446 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 94.5% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 76.7%, a swing of 18 points on roughly 81 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.

Scale runs 70% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, YX 3446 did best on Tuesday at 93.3% on time and worst on Monday at 76.1%. Each day rests on about 46 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why YX 3446 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 2,886 reported delay minutes.

National Airspace System
33%
Carrier
29%
Late-arriving aircraft
26%
Extreme weather
12%

Extreme weather accounts for 12% 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 1.9 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 2,886 delay minutes reported on YX 3446.

Cancellations sit at 1.54% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.31%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.7% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.

The 645 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 one other city pair in the data, including IAD to PHL (5), but none flew often enough under YX 3446 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to EWR to IND only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 324 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 3446
