Why DL1130 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

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies DL1130 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
The aircraft flying DL1130 came in 15 or more minutes late on 18% 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 ATL: 579 of 601 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 |
|---|---|
| DL1130 | 18% |
| Network, same turn | 17% |
71 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 DL1130’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is about the same as the network’s. There are not enough departures in both groups to compare how it left.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves ATL late, does that still matter by the time it reaches MCI?
On arrival at MCI, DL1130 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 1.0 minutes longer than a typical MCI arrival (6.0 min).
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 66,898 ATL departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 157,112 arrivals at MCI. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves ATL
DL1130 has one departure time, 7:59 PM, so this is what that hour at ATL is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 66,898 departures from ATL are scheduled in the 7 PM–8 PM hour over the period, against 1,039,468 across the whole day.

Both airport figures cover every destination from ATL, so they describe the slot, not this journey; the route comparison is above. Why the hour matters.
