Against the rest of the route
| Flight or route | On time | Cancelled | Median delay | Severe | Flights |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AA2564 | 64.4% | 4.03% | 5 min | 12.1% | 893 |
| American Airlines on DFW → ABQ | 68.0% | 2.77% | 0 min | 11.9% | 5,996 |
| All DFW → ABQ flights | 70.1% | 2.54% | -1 min | 10.6% | 7,375 |
AA2564 has cancelled 4.03% of its scheduled departures (36 of 893), against 2.54% for all DFW → ABQ flights — this specific departure cancels 1.5 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 AA2564 specifically, not about the route it flies.

Why AA2564 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
screening or terminal security incidents

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies AA2564 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, AA2564 pushed back an average of 40 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 9 minutes late.
Each departure is matched to the flight the same aircraft flew into DFW just before it, using the tail number in the DOT file, 795 of 857 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AA2564 | 32% | 60% | 20% |
| Network, same turn | 17% | 68% | 9% |
The schedule leaves a normal turn: enough time to clean and board if the aircraft is on time, little to spare if it is not.
The network row is every flight with a scheduled turn of 60 to 89 minutes. How often AA2564’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is higher than the network’s and, once the aircraft was late, how often AA2564 left 15 or more minutes late is lower than the network’s.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves DFW late, does that still matter by the time it reaches ABQ?
On arrival at ABQ, AA2564 spends 7.2 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 ABQ arrival (6.0 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 ABQ. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 39,456 departures from DFW scheduled in the clock hour AA2564 most often leaves in. Taxi-in is landing to gate, compared against every arrival FlyerIntel has on file at ABQ (76,020 flights), not just AA2564’s own. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves DFW
Part of any flight’s record belongs to the clock rather than to the flight. AA2564 has one departure time, so this is what that time is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 39,456 departures from DFW are scheduled in the 10 PM–11 PM hour over the period, against 961,718 across the whole day.
AA2564 is scheduled out of DFW at 10:57 PM, in the 10 PM–11 PM bank. Departures from DFW in that hour arrive on time 65.7% of the time against 73.1% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 7.4 points worse before anything about this particular flight is considered.
The two airport figures cover every departure from DFW 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.

By day of week
Does AA2564 run worse on particular days?
Wednesday is historically the most reliable day and Monday the least, a gap of 16.1 percentage points.

Because the same number has served different journeys, the statistics above describe only the route AA2564 currently operates. Blending them would produce an average of two different flights.
When it goes wrong
The average describes a usual day. This is the day that ruins a connection.
66 min late
against a median of 5 min late
AA2564 has an average that understates its risk: a typical arrival is 5 min late, but the worst tenth are 61 minutes worse than that. If the trip has something unmissable at the end of it, the median is the wrong number to plan against.

Other flights on this route
Same airports, same journey, different odds of arriving on time.
| Flight | Airline | On time | Median arrival | Operations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AA2564 this flight | American Airlines | 64.4% | 5 min late | 893 |

Every departure listed carries at least 600 operations, so the comparison is between figures that mean something. AA2564 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 893 records of AA2564 operating DFW → ABQ, 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.
