YX 4808 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 9 points better than the national rate of 77.6%.

These figures cover 360 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 10 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 4808 flies

YX 4808 flies CMH to JFK without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 09:04, used on 55 of 360 flights, with 09:09 (41 flights) and 06:25 (40 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 09:04 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and YX 4808 runs 3 points better at 86.7%. 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 4808 quarter by quarter

YX 4808 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 93.4% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 78.6%, a swing of 15 points on roughly 90 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 4808 did best on Saturday at 96.2% on time and worst on Monday at 80.0%. Each day rests on about 51 flights, so a gap of 16 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why YX 4808 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 2,761 reported delay minutes.

Carrier
40%
Late-arriving aircraft
28%
National Airspace System
24%
Extreme weather
8%

The largest share of delay minutes, 40%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. Unlike weather, that is a management outcome, and it is the category where the gap between two carriers on the same schedule is genuinely earned. It accounts for 1,113 of the 2,761 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,761 delay minutes reported on YX 4808.

Cancellations sit at 1.67% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.28%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.7% 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.

Every one of the 360 flights under YX 4808 in the data flew CMH 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. 360 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 4808

For a booking, read YX 4808 as 86.7% on time with 1.67% cancelled over 360 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
