Why AA1390 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
crew, maintenance, boarding and fueling, all within the carrier’s control
weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies AA1390 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
The aircraft flying AA1390 came in 15 or more minutes late on 13% 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.
Matched by tail number to the aircraft’s previous flight into DFW: 523 of 650 departures. Unknown, cancelled or diverted inbounds and gaps over 12 hours are left out.
Against the network at the same turn length
| Share of departures | Inbound landed 15+ late |
|---|---|
| AA1390 | 13% |
| Network, same turn | 17% |
75 scheduled minutes is enough to clean and board when the aircraft is on time, with little to spare when it is not.
The network row is every flight with a scheduled turn of 60 to 89 minutes. How often AA1390’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is lower than the network’s. There are not enough departures in both groups to compare how it left.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves DFW late, does that still matter by the time it reaches FLL?
AA1390 pushes back an average of 10.0 minutes late and reaches the gate at FLL an average of 5.1 minutes late. The 4.8 minutes between those two figures are slack the published schedule already carries, so a late pushback is partly, not fully, made up before the gate. It spends 19.8 minutes on the taxiways at DFW, 2.4 minutes shorter than a typical DFW departure in the same hour.
On arrival at FLL, AA1390 spends 4.9 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 2.5 minutes shorter than a typical FLL arrival (7.4 min).
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 94,790 DFW departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 285,735 arrivals at FLL. More on taxi time.
