Against the rest of the route
| Flight or route | On time | Cancelled | Median delay | Severe | Flights |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AA2114 | 81.6% | 1.15% | -9 min | 6.9% | 781 |
| American Airlines on SNA → DFW | 82.3% | 2.26% | -9 min | 6.7% | 9,030 |
| All SNA → DFW flights | 81.7% | 2.27% | -9 min | 6.9% | 9,376 |
AA2114 has cancelled 1.15% of its scheduled departures (9 of 781), against 2.27% for all SNA → DFW flights — this specific departure cancels 1.1 percentage points less 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 AA2114 specifically, not about the route it flies.

Why AA2114 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
Share of the delay minutes US DOT attributed to each cause for AA2114 on SNA → DFW. 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 AA2114 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
The aircraft flying AA2114 came in 15 or more minutes late on 16% 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 SNA: 759 of 772 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 |
|---|---|
| AA2114 | 16% |
| Network, same turn | 18% |
52 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 45 to 59 minutes. How often AA2114’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is about the same as the network’s. There are not enough departures in both groups to compare how it left.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves SNA late, does that still matter by the time it reaches DFW?
AA2114 pushes back an average of 14.5 minutes late and reaches the gate at DFW an average of 6.9 minutes late. The 7.6 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. Its 15.9 minutes on the taxiways at SNA is about what any departure from the airport in that hour spends.
On arrival at DFW, AA2114 spends 11.8 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 shorter 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 10,167 SNA departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 988,998 arrivals at DFW. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves SNA
AA2114 has one departure time, 10:42 AM, so this is what that hour at SNA is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 10,167 departures from SNA are scheduled in the 10 AM–11 AM hour over the period, against 141,255 across the whole day.
AA2114 is scheduled out of SNA at 10:42 AM, in the 10 AM–11 AM bank. Departures from SNA in that hour arrive on time 86.1% of the time against 82.1% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 4.0 points better before anything about this particular flight is considered.
Both airport figures cover every destination from SNA, so they describe the slot, not this journey; the route comparison is above. Why the hour matters.

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 781 records of AA2114 operating SNA → DFW, 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 reported separately, not in the on-time rate.
