Why AA341 runs late

Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.

Share of the delay minutes US DOT attributed to each cause for AA341 on JFK → LAX. A single late flight can carry more than one cause, and only delays of fifteen minutes or more are attributed at all.

From pushback to gate

When it leaves JFK late, does that still matter by the time it reaches LAX?

Average over 614 arrivals

AA341 pushes back an average of 12.3 minutes late and reaches the gate at LAX an average of 0.2 minutes late. The 12.1 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. It spends 25.7 minutes on the taxiways at JFK, 2.1 minutes shorter than a typical JFK departure in the same hour.

On arrival at LAX, AA341 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 2.2 minutes shorter than a typical LAX arrival (10.7 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 LAX. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 25,963 departures from JFK scheduled in the clock hour AA341 most often leaves in. Taxi-in is landing to gate, compared against every arrival FlyerIntel has on file at LAX (595,170 flights), not just AA341’s own. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves JFK

Part of any flight’s record belongs to the clock rather than to the flight. AA341 has one departure time, so this is what that time is worth.

AA34180.5%
All JFK departures, 3 PM–4 PM73.8%
All JFK departures, whole day77.0%

On-time arrival rate. 25,963 departures from JFK are scheduled in the 3 PM–4 PM hour over the period, against 351,635 across the whole day.

AA341 is scheduled out of JFK at 3:30 PM, in the 3 PM–4 PM bank. Departures from JFK in that hour arrive on time 73.8% of the time against 77.0% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 3.2 points worse before anything about this particular flight is considered.

The two airport figures cover every departure from JFK 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 AA341 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. AA341 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 625 records of AA341 operating JFK → LAX, 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.
