Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s YX 5761, 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 5761 lands a B−, 4 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by about an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 345 flights, with a median arrival 11 minutes early.

These figures cover 345 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 11 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 5761 flies

YX 5761 is scheduled to leave New York (LGA) at 12:00 local time and reach Boston (BOS) at 13:20. That slot held for 292 of the 345 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 12:00 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and YX 5761 runs 3 points better at 81.4%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

YX 5761 quarter by quarter

YX 5761 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 87.2% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 65.4%, a swing of 22 points on roughly 86 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 202586 flights87.2%
Oct–Dec 202585 flights65.4%
Jan–Mar 202689 flights85.4%
Apr–Jun 202685 flights87.1%

Scale runs 55% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, YX 5761 ranged from 75.5% on Monday to 86.8% on Saturday. With about 49 flights behind each day, a spread of 11 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why YX 5761 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 54% of the 4,090 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
54%
National Airspace System
32%
Late-arriving aircraft
12%
Extreme weather
1%

The largest share of delay minutes, 54%, 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 2,221 of the 4,090 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 4,090 delay minutes reported on YX 5761.

Cancellations run at 3.19%, 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

7.2% 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 about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

Every one of the 345 flights under YX 5761 in the data flew LGA to BOS. 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. 345 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 5761

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on YX 5761: 3.19% of its 345 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
