Why B6267 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
crew, maintenance, boarding and fueling, all within the carrier’s control
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically
Share of the delay minutes US DOT attributed to each cause for B6267 on BOS → CHS. Only delays of 15 minutes or more are attributed.

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies B6267 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, B6267 pushed back an average of 33 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 3 minutes late.
Each departure is matched to the flight the same aircraft flew into BOS just before it, using the tail number in the DOT file, 843 of 988 departures in all. A departure is left out when that flight is unknown, was cancelled or diverted, or the aircraft had sat for more than 12 hours. A flight the airline cancelled never left and is not in the count, and one flown by a substitute aircraft is matched to the aircraft that flew it, not to the one first planned.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| B6267 | 18% | 46% | 12% |
| Network, same turn | 18% | 85% | 10% |
The schedule leaves a normal turn: enough time to clean and board if the aircraft is on time, little to spare if it is not.
The network row is every flight with a scheduled turn of 45 to 59 minutes. How often B6267’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is about the same as the network’s and, once the aircraft was late, how often B6267 left 15 or more minutes late is lower than the network’s.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves BOS late, does that still matter by the time it reaches CHS?
B6267 pushes back an average of 10.9 minutes late and reaches the gate at CHS an average of 6.1 minutes late. The 4.8 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 19.2 minutes on the taxiways at BOS, 1.5 minutes shorter than a typical BOS departure in the same hour.
On arrival at CHS, B6267 spends 8.6 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 CHS spends on the ground before reaching the gate.
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 CHS. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 36,667 departures from BOS scheduled in the clock hour B6267 most often leaves in. Taxi-in is landing to gate, compared against every arrival FlyerIntel has on file at CHS (77,396 flights), not just B6267’s own. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves BOS
Part of any flight’s record belongs to the clock rather than to the flight. B6267 has one departure time, so this is what that time is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 36,667 departures from BOS are scheduled in the 6 AM–7 AM hour over the period, against 440,893 across the whole day.
B6267 is scheduled out of BOS at 6:45 AM, in the 6 AM–7 AM bank. Departures from BOS in that hour arrive on time 88.8% of the time against 77.2% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 11.6 points better before anything about this particular flight is considered.
The two airport figures cover every departure from BOS 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.

Does B6267 run worse on particular days?
Tuesday is historically the most reliable day and Sunday the least, a gap of 10.2 percentage points.

Other flights on this route
Same airports, same journey, different odds of arriving on time.
| Flight | Airline | On time | Median arrival | Operations |
|---|---|---|---|---|

Every departure listed carries at least 600 operations, so the comparison is between figures that mean something. B6267 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 1,003 records of B6267 operating BOS → CHS, 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.
