Other routes AA3061 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.
Because the same number has served different journeys, the statistics above describe only the route AA3061 currently operates. Blending them would produce an average of two different flights.
Why AA3061 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late

screening or terminal security incidents
Share of the delay minutes US DOT attributed to each cause for AA3061 on MIA → PHL. A single late flight can carry more than one cause, and only delays of fifteen minutes or more are attributed at all.

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 362 records of AA3061 operating MIA → PHL, 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.
