Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s YX 4797, 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 4797 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 12 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs roughly 55 minutes. That rests on 331 flights, with a median arrival 9 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, YX 4797's record is 12 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 115 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 331 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 9 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 4797 flies

YX 4797 flies IND to LGA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:00, used on 59 of 331 flights, with 06:51 (58 flights) and 06:00 (43 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 07:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and YX 4797 runs level with that at 89.1%. 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 4797 quarter by quarter

YX 4797 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 92.8% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 81.4%, a swing of 11 points on roughly 83 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.

Jul–Sep 202584 flights90.4%
Oct–Dec 202587 flights90.6%
Jan–Mar 202676 flights81.4%
Apr–Jun 202684 flights92.8%

Scale runs 75% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, YX 4797 ranged from 86.0% on Friday to 92.3% on Saturday. With about 47 flights behind each day, a spread of 6 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why YX 4797 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 1,851 reported delay minutes.

Carrier
41%
National Airspace System
27%
Late-arriving aircraft
16%
Extreme weather
15%

Extreme weather accounts for 15% 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 2.4 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 1,851 delay minutes reported on YX 4797.

Cancellations run at 2.72%, against 1.81% nationally. That is roughly one flight in 40 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 2.5% 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 660 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.

Every one of the 331 flights under YX 4797 in the data flew IND to LGA. 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. 331 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 4797

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on YX 4797: 2.72% of its 331 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs roughly 55 minutes, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
