Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s YX 5768, 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 5768 earns an F−, which is as low as this site's scale goes for a reason. Only 54.3% of flights arrive inside the 15-minute window, 23 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. Late arrivals average an hour and a half. Treat any tight connection here as a coin flip. That rests on 300 flights, with a median arrival 9 minutes late.

The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so YX 5768 runs 23 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 233 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 300 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 19.8% 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 5768 flies

YX 5768 flies DCA to LGA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 20:40, used on 150 of 300 flights, with 20:45 (113 flights) and 20:35 (33 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 20:40 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and YX 5768 runs 16 points worse at 54.3%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year

YX 5768 quarter by quarter

YX 5768 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 64.8% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 47.7%, a swing of 17 points on roughly 75 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 202579 flights64.8%
Oct–Dec 202569 flights47.7%
Jan–Mar 202675 flights50.7%

Scale runs 40% to 70%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, YX 5768 did best on Monday at 73.8% on time and worst on Sunday at 41.3%. Each day rests on about 43 flights, so a gap of 33 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why YX 5768 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. National Airspace System accounts for 50% of the 11,000 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.

50%
Late-arriving aircraft
34%
Carrier
14%
Extreme weather
2%

34% 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 11,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 16 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 10,716 delay minutes reported on YX 5768.

Cancellations run at 7.33%, against 1.81% nationally. That is roughly one flight in fifteen 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. 19.8% 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.

Every one of the 300 flights under YX 5768 in the data flew DCA 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. 300 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 5768

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on YX 5768: 7.33% of its 300 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.
