AA2031 pushes back an average of 22.2 minutes late and reaches the gate at LGA an average of 15.5 minutes late. The 6.7 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.

On arrival at LGA, AA2031 spends 6.4 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 shorter than a typical LGA arrival (8.2 min).

Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 23,450 CLT departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 467,477 arrivals at LGA. More on taxi time.
