Why AA2339 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
crew, maintenance, boarding and fueling, all within the carrier’s control
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
screening or terminal security incidents
weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies AA2339 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
The aircraft flying AA2339 came in 15 or more minutes late on 12% 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 PHX: 496 of 840 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 |
|---|---|
| AA2339 | 12% |
| Network, same turn | 23% |
A long gap on the ground 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 AA2339’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 PHX late, does that still matter by the time it reaches JFK?
AA2339 pushes back an average of 7.9 minutes late and reaches the gate at JFK an average of 0.2 minutes late. The 7.8 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 22.4 minutes on the taxiways at PHX, 2.5 minutes longer than a typical PHX departure in the same hour.
On arrival at JFK, AA2339 spends 10.7 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 about what any arrival at JFK 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 54,011 PHX departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 360,684 arrivals at JFK. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves PHX
AA2339 has one departure time, 8:30 AM, so this is what that hour at PHX is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 54,011 departures from PHX are scheduled in the 8 AM–9 AM hour over the period, against 613,275 across the whole day.
AA2339 is scheduled out of PHX at 8:30 AM, in the 8 AM–9 AM bank. Departures from PHX in that hour arrive on time 86.4% of the time against 80.2% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 6.2 points better before anything about this particular flight is considered.
Both airport figures cover every destination from PHX, so they describe the slot, not this journey; the route comparison is above. Why the hour matters.

By day of week
Does AA2339 run worse on particular days?
Thursday scored highest and Wednesday lowest, 9.5 points apart, but with about 123 operations per scored day that is within what chance alone produces, so no day stands out.

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 847 records of AA2339 operating PHX → JFK, 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.
