Delay causes
Why YX 3481 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 6,671 reported delay minutes.
- 39%Late-arriving aircraft
- 32%Carrier
- 21%National Airspace System
- 8%Extreme weather
39% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 6,671 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 5 to one. The split is drawn from 6,671 delay minutes reported on YX 3481.
Cancellations run at 7.69%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly one flight in twelve 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 same number turns up on thirteen other city pairs in the data, including MKE to EWR (31), EWR to PIT (23) and MYR to EWR (21), but none flew often enough under YX 3481 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to EWR to CMH only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 260 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 3481
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on YX 3481: 7.69% of its 260 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs close to two hours, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
