AA1103 has cancelled 1.07% of its scheduled departures (7 of 653), against 3.01% for all BNA → DFW flights — this specific departure cancels 1.9 percentage points less often than the route as a whole. Different flight numbers on the same route can carry different aircraft, crews and schedules, so this is a fact about AA1103 specifically, not about the route it flies.

The aircraft flying AA1103 came in 15 or more minutes late on 16% of the departures where its previous flight is known. There are not enough departures in both groups to say how the flight left after a late one and after an on-time one.

Each departure is matched to the flight the same aircraft flew into BNA just before it, using the tail number in the DOT file, 576 of 646 departures in all. A departure is left out when that flight is unknown, was cancelled or diverted, or the aircraft had sat for more than 12 hours. A flight the airline cancelled never left and is not in the count, and one flown by a substitute aircraft is matched to the aircraft that flew it, not to the one first planned.

AA1103 pushes back an average of 15.5 minutes late and reaches the gate at DFW an average of 7.9 minutes late. The 7.6 minutes between those two figures are slack the published schedule already carries, which is why a late pushback on this flight does not reliably become a late arrival. Its 15.5 minutes on the taxiways at BNA is about what any departure from the airport in that hour spends.

On arrival at DFW, AA1103 spends 13.2 min taxiing from touchdown to the gate — ground time a connecting passenger sits through before they can even leave the aircraft, on top of however late the flight itself ran. That is about what any arrival at DFW spends on the ground before reaching the gate.

Departure delay is averaged over every pushback and arrival delay over every completed arrival, so the two counts differ by the flights that never reached DFW. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 17,390 departures from BNA scheduled in the clock hour AA1103 most often leaves in. Taxi-in is landing to gate, compared against every arrival FlyerIntel has on file at DFW (961,642 flights), not just AA1103’s own. More on taxi time.

AA1103 is scheduled out of BNA at 9:47 AM, in the 9 AM–10 AM bank. Departures from BNA in that hour arrive on time 88.1% of the time against 78.3% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 9.8 points better before anything about this particular flight is considered.

The two airport figures cover every departure from BNA to every destination, so they describe the slot rather than this journey — the like-for-like comparison against the route is above. Hours are scheduled local, and a number whose schedule moved between banks inside the period has no single hour and is not described here at all. Why the hour matters.

Because the same number has served different journeys, the statistics above describe only the route AA1103 currently operates. Blending them would produce an average of two different flights.

Every departure listed carries at least 600 operations, so the comparison is between figures that mean something. AA1103 is placed in the same ordering rather than left out of it; the rows around it are the most punctual departures on the route, not all of them, so this is a comparison and not a rank. Schedules change; confirm the departure still operates before booking around this.
