Why AA760 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
crew, maintenance, boarding and fueling, all within the carrier’s control
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies AA760 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
AA760 is usually the aircraft’s first flight of the day: the schedule gives it a median of 7.3 hours on the ground at ORD, so its “inbound” is mostly the aircraft’s arrival the evening before.
When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, AA760 pushed back an average of 2 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 3 minutes late.
Matched by tail number to the aircraft’s previous flight into ORD: 521 of 612 departures. Unknown, cancelled or diverted inbounds and gaps over 12 hours are left out.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| AA760 | 44% | 6% | 10% |
| Network, same turn | 29% | 12% | 9% |
A night on the ground absorbs most of a late arrival, so a late inbound matters far less here than on a same-day turn.
The network row is every flight with a scheduled turn of 6 hours or more, usually overnight. How often AA760’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is higher than the network’s and, once the aircraft was late, how often AA760 left 15 or more minutes late is lower than the network’s.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves ORD late, does that still matter by the time it reaches DFW?
AA760 pushes back an average of 5.0 minutes late and reaches the gate at DFW an average of 0.1 minutes early. The 5.1 minutes between those two figures are slack the published schedule already carries, so on average a late pushback on this flight is made up before the gate. It spends 14.9 minutes on the taxiways at ORD, 1.9 minutes shorter than a typical ORD departure in the same hour.
On arrival at DFW, AA760 spends 16.3 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 2.8 minutes longer than a typical DFW arrival (13.6 min).
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 9,851 ORD departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 988,998 arrivals at DFW. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves ORD
AA760 has one departure time, 5:00 AM, so this is what that hour at ORD is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 9,851 departures from ORD are scheduled in the 5 AM–6 AM hour over the period, against 985,989 across the whole day.
AA760 is scheduled out of ORD at 5:00 AM, in the 5 AM–6 AM bank. Departures from ORD in that hour arrive on time 88.7% of the time against 74.2% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 14.5 points better before anything about this particular flight is considered.
Both airport figures cover every destination from ORD, so they describe the slot, not this journey; the route comparison is above. Why the hour matters.

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 627 records of AA760 operating ORD → DFW, 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 reported separately, not in the on-time rate.
