Why DL313 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
crew, maintenance, boarding and fueling, all within the carrier’s control
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 DL313 on HNL → MSP. Only delays of 15 minutes or more are attributed.

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies DL313 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, DL313 pushed back an average of 34 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 1 minute late.
Each departure is matched to the flight the same aircraft flew into HNL just before it, using the tail number in the DOT file, 668 of 684 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| DL313 | 21% | 39% | 8% |
| Network, same turn | 23% | 40% | 9% |
The schedule leaves a long gap on the ground, which gives a late aircraft room to catch up before this flight pushes back.
The network row is every flight with a scheduled turn of 90 minutes to 3 hours. How often DL313’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is about the same as the network’s and, once the aircraft was late, how often DL313 left 15 or more minutes late is about the same as the network’s.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves HNL late, does that still matter by the time it reaches MSP?
DL313 pushes back an average of 8.4 minutes late and reaches the gate at MSP an average of 1.1 minutes early. The 9.5 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 19.6 minutes on the taxiways at HNL, 4.1 minutes longer than a typical HNL departure in the same hour.
On arrival at MSP, DL313 spends 5.8 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 1.0 minutes shorter than a typical MSP arrival (6.8 min).
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 MSP. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 10,555 departures from HNL scheduled in the clock hour DL313 most often leaves in. Taxi-in is landing to gate, compared against every arrival FlyerIntel has on file at MSP (369,815 flights), not just DL313’s own. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves HNL
Part of any flight’s record belongs to the clock rather than to the flight. DL313 has one departure time, so this is what that time is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 10,555 departures from HNL are scheduled in the 4 PM–5 PM hour over the period, against 186,300 across the whole day.
DL313 is scheduled out of HNL at 4:10 PM, in the 4 PM–5 PM bank. Departures from HNL in that hour arrive on time 81.3% of the time against 85.3% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 4.0 points worse before anything about this particular flight is considered.
The two airport figures cover every departure from HNL 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 DL313 currently operates. Blending them would produce an average of two different flights.

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 691 records of DL313 operating HNL → MSP, 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.
