Why DL1319 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
crew, maintenance, boarding and fueling, all within the carrier’s control
weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies DL1319 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, DL1319 pushed back an average of 68 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 4 minutes late.
Matched by tail number to the aircraft’s previous flight into RDU: 577 of 598 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DL1319 | 25% | 79% | 15% |
| Network, same turn | 18% | 85% | 10% |
56 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 45 to 59 minutes. How often DL1319’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is higher than the network’s and, once the aircraft was late, how often DL1319 left 15 or more minutes late is lower than the network’s.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves RDU late, does that still matter by the time it reaches MCO?
On arrival at MCO, DL1319 spends 14.8 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 3.9 minutes longer than a typical MCO arrival (10.9 min).
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 14,650 RDU departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 510,310 arrivals at MCO. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves RDU
DL1319 has one departure time, 6:10 PM, so this is what that hour at RDU is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 14,650 departures from RDU are scheduled in the 6 PM–7 PM hour over the period, against 184,584 across the whole day.
DL1319 is scheduled out of RDU at 6:10 PM, in the 6 PM–7 PM bank. Departures from RDU in that hour arrive on time 69.2% of the time against 79.3% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 10.1 points worse before anything about this particular flight is considered.
Both airport figures cover every destination from RDU, so they describe the slot, not this journey; the route comparison is above. Why the hour matters.

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 611 records of DL1319 operating RDU → MCO, 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.
