Why AA2294 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
crew, maintenance, boarding and fueling, all within the carrier’s control
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies AA2294 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
AA2294 is usually the aircraft’s first flight of the day: the schedule gives it a median of 9.2 hours on the ground at AUS, so its “inbound” is mostly the aircraft’s arrival the evening before.
When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, AA2294 pushed back an average of 5 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 4 minutes late.
Matched by tail number to the aircraft’s previous flight into AUS: 520 of 614 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AA2294 | 34% | 11% | 12% |
| Network, same turn | 29% | 12% | 9% |
A night on the ground absorbs most of a late arrival, so a late inbound matters far less here than on a same-day turn.
The network row is every flight with a scheduled turn of 6 hours or more, usually overnight. How often AA2294’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is higher than the network’s and, once the aircraft was late, how often AA2294 left 15 or more minutes late is about the same as the network’s.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves AUS late, does that still matter by the time it reaches MIA?
AA2294 pushes back an average of 7.9 minutes late and reaches the gate at MIA an average of 5.5 minutes late. The 2.4 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 16.7 minutes on the taxiways at AUS is about what any departure from the airport in that hour spends.
On arrival at MIA, AA2294 spends 13.3 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 3.6 minutes longer than a typical MIA arrival (9.7 min).
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 20,631 AUS departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 349,140 arrivals at MIA. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves AUS
AA2294 has one departure time, 7:00 AM, so this is what that hour at AUS is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 20,631 departures from AUS are scheduled in the 7 AM–8 AM hour over the period, against 280,096 across the whole day.
AA2294 is scheduled out of AUS at 7:00 AM, in the 7 AM–8 AM bank. Departures from AUS in that hour arrive on time 88.1% of the time against 77.9% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 10.2 points better before anything about this particular flight is considered.
Both airport figures cover every destination from AUS, so they describe the slot, not this journey; the route comparison is above. Why the hour matters.

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 620 records of AA2294 operating AUS → MIA, 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.
