Other routes AA588 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→PHL Chicago to Philadelphia | 2023-07-01 – 2024-11-03 | 340 | 61.9% |

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 525 records of AA588 operating CLT → PHX, 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.
