Why AA2220 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
crew, maintenance, boarding and fueling, all within the carrier’s control
weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies AA2220 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
The aircraft flying AA2220 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.
Matched by tail number to the aircraft’s previous flight into MSP: 605 of 654 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 |
|---|---|
| AA2220 | 15% |
| 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 AA2220’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 MSP late, does that still matter by the time it reaches DFW?
AA2220 pushes back an average of 12.7 minutes late and reaches the gate at DFW an average of 5.7 minutes late. The 7.0 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. It spends 18.6 minutes on the taxiways at MSP, 1.0 minutes longer than a typical MSP departure in the same hour.
On arrival at DFW, AA2220 spends 13.2 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 about what any arrival at DFW spends on the ground before reaching the gate.
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 33,813 MSP departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 988,998 arrivals at DFW. More on taxi time.
