Why AA1825 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
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
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies AA1825 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
AA1825 is usually the aircraft’s first flight of the day: the schedule gives it a median of 8.9 hours on the ground at MEM, so its “inbound” is mostly the aircraft’s arrival the evening before.
When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, AA1825 pushed back an average of 19 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 7 minutes late.
Matched by tail number to the aircraft’s previous flight into MEM: 551 of 587 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AA1825 | 37% | 18% | 13% |
| Network, same turn | 29% | 12% | 9% |
A night on the ground usually absorbs a late arrival, but this flight has passed a late inbound on more often than the network does.
The network row is every flight with a scheduled turn of 6 hours or more, usually overnight. How often AA1825’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is higher than the network’s and, once the aircraft was late, how often AA1825 left 15 or more minutes late is higher than the network’s.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves MEM late, does that still matter by the time it reaches DFW?
On arrival at DFW, AA1825 spends 15.7 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 2.1 minutes longer than a typical DFW arrival (13.6 min).
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 8,808 MEM departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 988,998 arrivals at DFW. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves MEM
AA1825 has one departure time, 7:08 AM, so this is what that hour at MEM is worth.
