AA2414 pushes back an average of 19.3 minutes late and reaches the gate at PHX an average of 14.9 minutes late. The 4.4 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. It spends 20.1 minutes on the taxiways at SFO, 2.4 minutes shorter than a typical SFO departure in the same hour.

On arrival at PHX, AA2414 spends 8.5 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 1.0 minutes longer than a typical PHX arrival (7.5 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 PHX. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 26,943 departures from SFO scheduled in the clock hour AA2414 most often leaves in. Taxi-in is landing to gate, compared against every arrival FlyerIntel has on file at PHX (598,496 flights), not just AA2414’s own. More on taxi time.

AA2414 is scheduled out of SFO at 9:15 AM, in the 9 AM–10 AM bank. Departures from SFO in that hour arrive on time 82.7% of the time against 78.7% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 4.0 points better before anything about this particular flight is considered.

The two airport figures cover every departure from SFO 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 AA2414 currently operates. Blending them would produce an average of two different flights.

Every departure listed carries at least 600 operations, so the comparison is between figures that mean something. AA2414 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.
