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 8 points better than the national rate of 77.3%.

These figures cover 323 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 13 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.

Across the year

YX 3446 quarter by 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.

4 of 32 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 13% of them. In the other direction, 18 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at IND.

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 3,050 reported delay minutes.

National Airspace System
35%
Late-arriving aircraft
32%
Carrier
32%

35% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 1,075 minutes out of 3,050, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 3,050 delay minutes reported on YX 3446.

Cancellations sit at 2.17% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

5.4% 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 about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

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.

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. 323 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
