Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s YX 4418, 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 4418 sits in the middle of the pack with a C−. About seven flights in ten arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 9 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land an hour and a half behind schedule. That rests on 279 flights, with a median arrival 4 minutes early.
The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so YX 4418 runs 9 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 88 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 279 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 11.0% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.
Schedule
When YX 4418 flies
YX 4418 flies AVL to LGA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 14:02, used on 46 of 279 flights, with 14:04 (32 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.
- Departs 14:0246 flights16.5%

Scale runs 0% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 14:02 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and YX 4418 runs 4 points worse at 68.8%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year
YX 4418 quarter by quarter
YX 4418 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 78.9% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 59.3%, a swing of 20 points on roughly 93 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 4418 did best on Monday at 82.9% on time and worst on Sunday at 55.6%. Each day rests on about 40 flights, so a gap of 27 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why YX 4418 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 7,174 reported delay minutes.
- 39%National Airspace System
- 33%Late-arriving aircraft
- 27%Carrier
- 1%Extreme weather
39% 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 2,813 minutes out of 7,174, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 7,174 delay minutes reported on YX 4418.
Cancellations run at 5.02%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about one flight in twenty 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
For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 11.0% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The 599 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.
YX 4418 is not only a AVL to LGA flight. It also flew LGA to AVL (261 flights, 77.4% on time) often enough to be scored on its own. Airlines attach one number to several legs of an aircraft's day, and each leg keeps its own record here, so check which city pair is on your booking before reading a rate.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 279 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.

Booking YX 4418
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on YX 4418: 5.02% of its 279 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs an hour and a half, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
