Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s YX 3641, 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 3641 earns an A. Close to nine flights in ten arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 10 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs roughly 50 minutes. That rests on 290 flights, with a median arrival 15 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, YX 3641's record is 10 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 103 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 290 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 15 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 3641 flies
YX 3641 flies EWR to CMH without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 08:50, used on 37 of 290 flights, with 08:29 (36 flights) and 08:54 (30 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 08:50 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and YX 3641 runs 4 points better at 87.9%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year
YX 3641 quarter by quarter
YX 3641 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 100.0% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 76.5%, a swing of 24 points on roughly 73 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.

- Oct–Dec 202584 flights76.5%
- Jan–Mar 202688 flights90.4%

By weekday, YX 3641 ranged from 81.4% on Monday to 90.9% on Wednesday. With about 41 flights behind each day, a spread of 10 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.
Delay causes
Why YX 3641 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. National Airspace System accounts for 51% of the 1,764 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.
- 51%National Airspace System
- 32%Late-arriving aircraft
- 14%Carrier
- 3%Extreme weather
51% 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 893 minutes out of 1,764, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 1,764 delay minutes reported on YX 3641.
Cancellations sit at 2.41% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.34%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.5% 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 same number turns up on eight other city pairs in the data, including STL to EWR (31), ORD to GRR (18) and RDU to EWR (5), but none flew often enough under YX 3641 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. 290 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 3641
