Because the same number has served different journeys, the statistics above describe only the route F93287 currently operates. Blending them would produce an average of two different flights.
When it goes wrong
The average describes a usual day. This is the day that ruins a connection.
88 min late
against a median of 0 min early

Percentiles over 919 operations. Cancelled and diverted flights have no arrival time and are counted separately rather than as very late arrivals.
Why F93287 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, fuelling — within the carrier’s control
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 919 records of F93287 operating LGA → ATL, 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.
