Why AA2095 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
crew, maintenance, boarding and fueling, all within the carrier’s control
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies AA2095 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
The aircraft flying AA2095 came in 15 or more minutes late on 15% 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 PHL just before it, using the tail number in the DOT file, 383 of 601 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.
Against the network at the same turn length
| Share of departures | Inbound landed 15+ late |
|---|---|
| AA2095 | 15% |
| Network, same turn | 23% |
The schedule leaves a long gap on the ground, which gives a late aircraft room to catch up before this flight pushes back.
The network row is every flight with a scheduled turn of 90 minutes to 3 hours. How often AA2095’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 PHL late, does that still matter by the time it reaches ORD?
AA2095 pushes back an average of 8.3 minutes late and reaches the gate at ORD an average of 1.6 minutes late. The 6.7 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 22.5 minutes on the taxiways at PHL is about what any departure from the airport in that hour spends.
On arrival at ORD, AA2095 spends 14.4 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 3.4 minutes shorter than a typical ORD arrival (17.8 min).
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 ORD. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 12,328 departures from PHL scheduled in the clock hour AA2095 most often leaves in. Taxi-in is landing to gate, compared against every arrival FlyerIntel has on file at ORD (952,666 flights), not just AA2095’s own. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves PHL
Part of any flight’s record belongs to the clock rather than to the flight. AA2095 has one departure time, so this is what that time is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 12,328 departures from PHL are scheduled in the 9 AM–10 AM hour over the period, against 305,181 across the whole day.
AA2095 is scheduled out of PHL at 9:19 AM, in the 9 AM–10 AM bank. Departures from PHL in that hour arrive on time 82.5% of the time against 76.2% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 6.3 points better before anything about this particular flight is considered.
The two airport figures cover every departure from PHL 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.

Other routes AA2095 has flown
A flight number is a slot in a schedule, and carriers reassign it. These are the other city pairs this number served in the analysis period.
| Route | Operated | Flights | On time |
|---|---|---|---|
| ORD→TPA Chicago to Tampa | December 19, 2025 – January 5, 2026 | 15 | — |
| TPA→ORD Tampa to Chicago | December 19, 2025 – January 5, 2026 | 15 | — |
| LGA→ORD New York to Chicago | December 18, 2025 | 1 | — |
| ORD→LGA Chicago to New York | December 18, 2025 | 1 | — |
| MCO→PHL Orlando to Philadelphia | July 1, 2023 – November 4, 2024 | 313 | 59.4% |
| PHL→MCO Philadelphia to Orlando | July 1, 2023 – May 5, 2024 | 159 | 77.1% |
Because the same number has served different journeys, the statistics above describe only the route AA2095 currently operates. Blending them would produce an average of two different flights.

Other flights on this route
Same airports, same journey, different odds of arriving on time.
| Flight | Airline | On time | Median arrival | Operations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AA1652 | American Airlines | 87.9% | 16 min early | 774 |

Every departure listed carries at least 600 operations, so the comparison is between figures that mean something. AA2095 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.
Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 611 records of AA2095 operating PHL → ORD, published by the US DOT Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A flight counts as delayed when it arrives 15 or more minutes after schedule. Cancelled and diverted flights are excluded from the on-time rate and reported separately. Flight numbers are resolved as carrier plus number plus route, because the same number serves different routes over time.
