Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s YX 4568, 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 4568 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 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs an hour and a half. That rests on 364 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, YX 4568's record is 8 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 81 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 364 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 8 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 4568 flies

YX 4568 flies PIT to JFK without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 09:22, used on 58 of 364 flights, with 09:24 (57 flights) and 09:25 (48 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 09:22 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and YX 4568 runs level with that at 85.7%. 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 4568 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter YX 4568 held fairly steady: 84.9% in Jul–Sep 2025, 87.8% in Oct–Dec 2025, 86.7% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 83.5% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 4 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

Jul–Sep 202592 flights84.9%
Oct–Dec 202592 flights87.8%
Jan–Mar 202689 flights86.7%

By weekday, YX 4568 did best on Friday at 94.1% on time and worst on Saturday at 76.5%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 18 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why YX 4568 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 46% of the 4,207 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.

Late-arriving aircraft
46%
National Airspace System
22%
Carrier
18%
Extreme weather
14%

Extreme weather accounts for 14% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 2.2 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 4,207 delay minutes reported on YX 4568.

Cancellations run at 3.30%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about 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

6.6% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last an hour and a half, which a normal layover absorbs.

Every one of the 364 flights under YX 4568 in the data flew PIT to JFK. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 364 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 4568

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on YX 4568: 3.30% of its 364 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.
