A flight number is a slot in a schedule, and carriers reassign it. These are the other city pairs this number served in the analysis period.

Data and methodology

Calculated by FlyerIntel from 754 records of DL697 operating SLCJFK, 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.
