Why AA2833 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 AA2833 on MIA → BNA. Only delays of 15 minutes or more are attributed.

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies AA2833 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, AA2833 pushed back an average of 44 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 8 minutes late.
Each departure is matched to the flight the same aircraft flew into MIA just before it, using the tail number in the DOT file, 478 of 619 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AA2833 | 26% | 61% | 18% |
| 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 AA2833’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is higher than the network’s and, once the aircraft was late, how often AA2833 left 15 or more minutes late is lower than the network’s.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves MIA late, does that still matter by the time it reaches BNA?
AA2833 pushes back an average of 23.5 minutes late and reaches the gate at BNA an average of 19.4 minutes late. The 4.1 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 20.2 minutes on the taxiways at MIA is about what any departure from the airport in that hour spends.
On arrival at BNA, AA2833 spends 8.3 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 BNA spends on the ground before reaching the gate.
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 BNA. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 15,882 departures from MIA scheduled in the clock hour AA2833 most often leaves in. Taxi-in is landing to gate, compared against every arrival FlyerIntel has on file at BNA (319,633 flights), not just AA2833’s own. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves MIA
Part of any flight’s record belongs to the clock rather than to the flight. AA2833 has one departure time, so this is what that time is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 15,882 departures from MIA are scheduled in the 10 PM–11 PM hour over the period, against 340,469 across the whole day.
AA2833 is scheduled out of MIA at 10:30 PM, in the 10 PM–11 PM bank. Departures from MIA in that hour arrive on time 69.4% of the time against 73.2% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 3.8 points worse before anything about this particular flight is considered.
The two airport figures cover every departure from MIA 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.

Other routes AA2833 has flown
A flight number is a slot in a schedule, and carriers reassign it. These are the other city pairs this number served in the analysis period.
| Route | Operated | Flights | On time |
|---|---|---|---|
| ORD→DEN Chicago to Denver | November 2, 2025 – April 6, 2026 | 104 | 65.7% |
| DEN→ORD Denver to Chicago | November 4, 2025 – April 6, 2026 | 79 | — |
| LAX→DFW Los Angeles to Dallas–Fort Worth | July 1, 2023 – November 4, 2024 | 256 | 69.8% |
| CLT→SAT Charlotte to San Antonio | August 15, 2023 – November 4, 2023 | 82 | — |
Because the same number has served different journeys, the statistics above describe only the route AA2833 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.
61 min late
against a median of 1 min late
AA2833 has an average that understates its risk: a typical arrival is 1 min late, but the worst tenth are 60 minutes worse than that. If the trip has something unmissable at the end of it, the median is the wrong number to plan against.

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 626 records of AA2833 operating MIA → BNA, 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.
