From pushback to gate
When it leaves CLT late, does that still matter by the time it reaches PVD?
AA2566 pushes back an average of 21.3 minutes late and reaches the gate at PVD an average of 16.0 minutes late. The 5.3 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 17.5 minutes on the taxiways at CLT, 2.5 minutes shorter than a typical CLT departure in the same hour.
On arrival at PVD, AA2566 spends 5.6 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 PVD 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 49,147 CLT departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 46,272 arrivals at PVD. More on taxi time.
