AA2380
Columbus (CMH) to Dallas–Fort Worth (DFW) · scheduled 7:03 AM – 8:50 AM
How AA2380 performs
653 operations, July 2023 – July 2026.
AA2380 arrived on time 86.7% of the time, against 80.0% for all CMH → DFW flights, so this departure is 6.7 percentage points better than the route as a whole. Against American Airlines’ own flights on this route it is 8.2 points better.
AA2380’s scheduled departure has moved during the period FlyerIntel has on file: it typically left around 5:30 AM earlier on, and around 7:00 AM more recently — a 90-minute shift, not the few minutes of day-to-day rounding every published schedule carries. Confirm the current departure time before booking around an older listing.

Against the rest of the route
| Flight or route | On time | Cancelled | Median delay | Severe | Flights |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AA2380 | 86.7% | 4.13% | -11 min | 4.8% | 653 |
| American Airlines on CMH → DFW | 78.5% | 2.56% | -9 min | 9.1% | 4,148 |
| All CMH → DFW flights | 80.0% | 2.05% | -10 min | 8.2% | 5,403 |
AA2380 has cancelled 4.13% of its scheduled departures (27 of 653), against 2.05% for all CMH → DFW flights — this specific departure cancels 2.1 percentage points more 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 AA2380 specifically, not about the route it flies.

Why AA2380 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
crew, maintenance, boarding and fueling, all within the carrier’s control
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
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 AA2380 on CMH → DFW. Only delays of 15 minutes or more are attributed.

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies AA2380 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
AA2380 is usually the aircraft’s first flight of the day: the schedule gives it a median of 6.8 hours on the ground at CMH, so its “inbound” is mostly the aircraft’s arrival the evening before.
When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, AA2380 pushed back an average of 14 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 11 minutes late.
Each departure is matched to the flight the same aircraft flew into CMH just before it, using the tail number in the DOT file, 568 of 627 departures in all. A departure is left out when that flight is unknown, was cancelled or diverted, or the aircraft had sat for more than 12 hours. A flight the airline cancelled never left and is not in the count, and one flown by a substitute aircraft is matched to the aircraft that flew it, not to the one first planned.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AA2380 | 44% | 9% | 9% |
| Network, same turn | 29% | 12% | 9% |
A night on the ground absorbs most of a late arrival, so a late inbound matters far less on a turn this long than on a same-day one.
The network row is every flight with a scheduled turn of 6 hours or more, usually overnight. How often AA2380’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is higher than the network’s and, once the aircraft was late, how often AA2380 left 15 or more minutes late is lower than the network’s.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves CMH late, does that still matter by the time it reaches DFW?
AA2380 pushes back an average of 16.9 minutes late and reaches the gate at DFW an average of 10.0 minutes late. The 6.9 minutes between those two figures are slack the published schedule already carries, which is why a late pushback on this flight does not reliably become a late arrival. Its 15.7 minutes on the taxiways at CMH is about what any departure from the airport in that hour spends.
On arrival at DFW, AA2380 spends 14.7 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 1.1 minutes longer than a typical DFW arrival (13.5 min).
Departure delay is averaged over every pushback and arrival delay over every completed arrival, so the two counts differ by the flights that never reached DFW. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 12,987 departures from CMH scheduled in the clock hour AA2380 most often leaves in. Taxi-in is landing to gate, compared against every arrival FlyerIntel has on file at DFW (961,642 flights), not just AA2380’s own. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves CMH
Part of any flight’s record belongs to the clock rather than to the flight. AA2380 has one departure time, so this is what that time is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 12,987 departures from CMH are scheduled in the 7 AM–8 AM hour over the period, against 134,005 across the whole day.
AA2380 is scheduled out of CMH at 7:03 AM, in the 7 AM–8 AM bank. Departures from CMH in that hour arrive on time 87.1% of the time against 82.1% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 5.0 points better before anything about this particular flight is considered.
The two airport figures cover every departure from CMH to every destination, so they describe the slot rather than this journey — the like-for-like comparison against the route is above. Hours are scheduled local, and a number whose schedule moved between banks inside the period has no single hour and is not described here at all. Why the hour matters.

Because the same number has served different journeys, the statistics above describe only the route AA2380 currently operates. Blending them would produce an average of two different flights.

Same airports, same journey, different odds of arriving on time.
| Flight | Airline | On time | Median arrival | Operations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AA2380 this flight | American Airlines | 86.7% | 11 min early | 653 |

Every departure listed carries at least 600 operations, so the comparison is between figures that mean something. AA2380 is placed in the same ordering rather than left out of it; the rows around it are the most punctual departures on the route, not all of them, so this is a comparison and not a rank. Schedules change; confirm the departure still operates before booking around this.
Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 653 records of AA2380 operating CMH → 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 excluded from the on-time rate and reported separately. Flight numbers are resolved as carrier plus number plus route, because the same number serves different routes over time.
