Against the rest of the route
| Flight or route | On time | Cancelled | Median delay | Severe | Flights |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AA1758 | 57.7% | 4.42% | 8 min | 17.3% | 906 |
| American Airlines on DFW → MEM | 66.6% | 2.66% | 1 min | 12.9% | 5,331 |
| All DFW → MEM flights | 70.8% | 2.48% | -1 min | 10.7% | 7,811 |
AA1758 has cancelled 4.42% of its scheduled departures (40 of 906), against 2.48% for all DFW → MEM flights — this specific departure cancels 1.9 percentage points more 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 AA1758 specifically, not about the route it flies.
17.3% of AA1758’s arrivals were an hour or more late, against 10.7% across DFW → MEM, so the long delays are more common on this number than on the route.

Why AA1758 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
crew, maintenance, boarding and fueling, all within the carrier’s control
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically
screening or terminal security incidents
Share of the delay minutes US DOT attributed to each cause for AA1758 on DFW → MEM. Only delays of 15 minutes or more are attributed. What the five causes mean

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies AA1758 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, AA1758 pushed back an average of 42 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 11 minutes late.
Matched by tail number to the aircraft’s previous flight into DFW: 749 of 866 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 | Left 15+ late after a late inbound | Left 15+ late after an on-time inbound |
|---|---|---|---|
| AA1758 | 32% | 64% | 25% |
| Network, same turn | 17% | 69% | 9% |
76 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 AA1758’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is higher than the network’s and, once the aircraft was late, how often AA1758 left 15 or more minutes late is lower than the network’s.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves DFW late, does that still matter by the time it reaches MEM?
On arrival at MEM, AA1758 spends 7.8 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 1.8 minutes longer than a typical MEM arrival (6.1 min).
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 74,302 DFW departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 74,887 arrivals at MEM. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves DFW
AA1758 has one departure time, 7:20 PM, so this is what that hour at DFW is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 74,302 departures from DFW are scheduled in the 7 PM–8 PM hour over the period, against 989,065 across the whole day.
AA1758 is scheduled out of DFW at 7:20 PM, in the 7 PM–8 PM bank. Departures from DFW in that hour arrive on time 64.1% of the time against 73.1% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 9.0 points worse before anything about this particular flight is considered.
Both airport figures cover every destination from DFW, so they describe the slot, not this journey; the route comparison is above. Why the hour matters.

When it goes wrong
The average describes a usual day. This is the day that ruins a connection.
95 min late
against a median of 8 min late
AA1758 has an average that understates its risk: a typical arrival is 8 min late, but the worst tenth are 87 minutes worse than that. If the trip has something unmissable at the end of it, the median is the wrong number to plan against.
