These figures cover 299 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 16 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 3560 quarter by quarter

YX 3560 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 97.8% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 83.1%, a swing of 15 points on roughly 100 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.

By weekday, YX 3560 did best on Wednesday at 100.0% on time and worst on Sunday at 85.0%. Each day rests on about 43 flights, so a gap of 15 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why YX 3560 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 1,473 reported delay minutes.

National Airspace System
35%
Late-arriving aircraft
30%
Carrier
30%
Extreme weather
5%

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 510 minutes out of 1,473, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 1,473 delay minutes reported on YX 3560.

Cancellations run at 3.01%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly one flight in 30 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

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 2.4% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% 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 same number turns up on two other city pairs in the data, including BHM to ORD (19) and ORF to ORD (17), but none flew often enough under YX 3560 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to PIT to EWR only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 299 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 3560

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on YX 3560: 3.01% of its 299 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
