Against the rest of the route
| Flight or route | On time | Cancelled | Median delay | Severe | Flights |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| AA765 | 77.7% | 0.35% | -8 min | 9.7% | 860 |
| American Airlines on PHL → PHX | 81.3% | 1.21% | -8 min | 6.8% | 7,629 |
| All PHL → PHX flights | 81.3% | 1.21% | -8 min | 6.8% | 7,629 |
AA765 cancelled 3 of 860 operations (0.35%), below the 1.21% for PHL → PHX.
9.7% of AA765’s arrivals were an hour or more late, against 6.8% across PHL → PHX, so the long delays are more common on this number than on the route.

Why AA765 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
crew, maintenance, boarding and fueling, all within the carrier’s control
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies AA765 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
The aircraft flying AA765 came in 15 or more minutes late on 12% of the departures where its previous flight is known. There are not enough departures in both groups to say how the flight left after a late one and after an on-time one.
Matched by tail number to the aircraft’s previous flight into PHL: 795 of 858 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 |
|---|---|
| AA765 | 12% |
| Network, same turn | 17% |
66 scheduled minutes is enough to clean and board when the aircraft is on time, with little to spare when it is not.
The network row is every flight with a scheduled turn of 60 to 89 minutes. How often AA765’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is lower than the network’s. There are not enough departures in both groups to compare how it left.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves PHL late, does that still matter by the time it reaches PHX?
AA765 pushes back an average of 18.1 minutes late and reaches the gate at PHX an average of 9.3 minutes late. The 8.8 minutes between those two figures are slack the published schedule already carries, so a late pushback is partly, not fully, made up before the gate. Its 18.9 minutes on the taxiways at PHL is about what any departure from the airport in that hour spends.
On arrival at PHX, AA765 spends 7.1 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 PHX spends on the ground before reaching the gate.
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 20,458 PHL departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 613,261 arrivals at PHX. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves PHL
AA765 has one departure time, 1:45 PM, so this is what that hour at PHL is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 20,458 departures from PHL are scheduled in the 1 PM–2 PM hour over the period, against 315,217 across the whole day.
AA765 is scheduled out of PHL at 1:45 PM, in the 1 PM–2 PM bank. Departures from PHL in that hour arrive on time 76.6% of the time against 76.0% across the airport’s whole day, so the hour AA765 leaves in is an ordinary one for PHL and explains nothing about its record either way.
Both airport figures cover every destination from PHL, so they describe the slot, not this journey; the route comparison is above. Why the hour matters.

By day of week
Does AA765 run worse on particular days?
Sunday scored highest and Monday lowest, 6.7 points apart, but with about 123 operations per scored day that is within what chance alone produces, so no day stands out.

When it goes wrong
The average describes a usual day. This is the day that ruins a connection.
59 min late
against a median of 8 min early
AA765 has an average that understates its risk: a typical arrival is 8 min early, but the worst tenth are 67 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 860 records of AA765 operating PHL → 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 reported separately, not in the on-time rate.
