Why AA2244 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
screening or terminal security incidents

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies AA2244 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, AA2244 pushed back an average of 41 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 8 minutes late.
Matched by tail number to the aircraft’s previous flight into DFW: 841 of 964 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AA2244 | 19% | 66% | 18% |
| Network, same turn | 17% | 69% | 9% |
66 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 60 to 89 minutes. How often AA2244’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is about the same as the network’s and, once the aircraft was late, how often AA2244 left 15 or more minutes late is about the same as the network’s.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves DFW late, does that still matter by the time it reaches BNA?
On arrival at BNA, AA2244 spends 9.7 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 1.8 minutes longer than a typical BNA arrival (7.9 min).
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 46,742 DFW departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 329,326 arrivals at BNA. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves DFW
AA2244 has one departure time, 3:00 PM, so this is what that hour at DFW is worth.

Both airport figures cover every destination from DFW, so they describe the slot, not this journey; the route comparison is above. Why the hour matters.

The average describes a usual day. This is the day that ruins a connection.
78 min late
against a median of 3 min late
AA2244 has an average that understates its risk: a typical arrival is 3 min late, but the worst tenth are 75 minutes worse than that. If the trip has something unmissable at the end of it, the median is the wrong number to plan against.
