DL1414 has cancelled 4.29% of its scheduled departures (32 of 746), against 2.76% for all JFK → FLL flights — this specific departure cancels 1.5 percentage points more often than the route as a whole. Different flight numbers on the same route can carry different aircraft, crews and schedules, so this is a fact about DL1414 specifically, not about the route it flies.

Share of the delay minutes US DOT attributed to each cause for DL1414 on JFK → FLL. Only delays of 15 minutes or more are attributed.

When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, DL1414 pushed back an average of 77 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 7 minutes late.

Each departure is matched to the flight the same aircraft flew into JFK just before it, using the tail number in the DOT file, 666 of 718 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.

DL1414 pushes back an average of 30.0 minutes late and reaches the gate at FLL an average of 15.9 minutes late. The 14.0 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. Its 34.1 minutes on the taxiways at JFK is about what any departure from the airport in that hour spends.

On arrival at FLL, DL1414 spends 6.8 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 about what any arrival at FLL 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 FLL. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 21,522 departures from JFK scheduled in the clock hour DL1414 most often leaves in. Taxi-in is landing to gate, compared against every arrival FlyerIntel has on file at FLL (278,720 flights), not just DL1414’s own. More on taxi time.

DL1414 is scheduled out of JFK at 7:55 PM, in the 7 PM–8 PM bank. Departures from JFK in that hour arrive on time 69.2% of the time against 77.0% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 7.8 points worse before anything about this particular flight is considered.

The two airport figures cover every departure from JFK 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.

Because the same number has served different journeys, the statistics above describe only the route DL1414 currently operates. Blending them would produce an average of two different flights.

Every departure listed carries at least 600 operations, so the comparison is between figures that mean something. DL1414 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.
