Why DL2463 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 DL2463 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
The aircraft flying DL2463 came in 15 or more minutes late on 16% 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 CHS: 610 of 618 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 |
|---|---|
| DL2463 | 16% |
| Network, same turn | 18% |
55 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 DL2463’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 CHS late, does that still matter by the time it reaches MSP?
DL2463 pushes back an average of 16.0 minutes late and reaches the gate at MSP an average of 11.2 minutes late. The 4.8 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. It spends 17.7 minutes on the taxiways at CHS, 2.2 minutes longer than a typical CHS departure in the same hour.
On arrival at MSP, DL2463 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 MSP 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 4,261 CHS departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 380,510 arrivals at MSP. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves CHS
DL2463 has one departure time, 1:56 PM, so this is what that hour at CHS is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 4,261 departures from CHS are scheduled in the 1 PM–2 PM hour over the period, against 79,421 across the whole day.
DL2463 is scheduled out of CHS at 1:56 PM, in the 1 PM–2 PM bank. Departures from CHS in that hour arrive on time 79.4% of the time against 80.4% across the airport’s whole day, so the hour DL2463 leaves in is an ordinary one for CHS and explains nothing about its record either way.
Both airport figures cover every destination from CHS, so they describe the slot, not this journey; the route comparison is above. Why the hour matters.
