Period: July 2025 to June 2026

Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s YX 5716, 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 5716 draws a D−. About one flight in three arrives at least 15 minutes late, and the typical late arrival is an hour and a half behind schedule. Build slack into anything you connect to. That rests on 303 flights, with a median arrival 2 minutes early.

The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so YX 5716 runs 13 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 128 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 303 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 20.7% 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 5716 flies

YX 5716 is scheduled to leave Boston (BOS) at 19:00 local time and reach New York (LGA) at 20:30. That slot held for 303 of the 303 scheduled departures in the data, so the figures below describe one steady operation rather than a number that moved around the clock.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.

A 19:00 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and YX 5716 runs 3 points worse at 64.8%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Against the route

YX 5716 next to BOS to LGA

Across the year

YX 5716 quarter by quarter

YX 5716 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 68.7% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 58.1%, a swing of 11 points on roughly 76 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.

Jan–Mar 202677 flights68.7%

Scale runs 50% to 75%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, YX 5716 did best on Wednesday at 71.1% on time and worst on Thursday at 55.8%. Each day rests on about 43 flights, so a gap of 15 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why YX 5716 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 43% of the 8,101 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.

Carrier

Extreme weather
9%

43% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 8,101 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 5 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 8,101 delay minutes reported on YX 5716.

Cancellations run at 10.89%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about one flight in nine 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. 20.7% 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 same number turns up on three other city pairs in the data, including LGA to IND (15), LGA to ORD (6) and ORD to LGA (1), but none flew often enough under YX 5716 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to BOS to LGA only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 303 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 5716

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on YX 5716: 10.89% of its 303 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.
