Why F93417 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
crew, maintenance, boarding and fueling, all within the carrier’s control
weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies F93417 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
The aircraft flying F93417 came in 15 or more minutes late on 18% 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 SAT: 604 of 612 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 |
|---|---|
| F93417 | 18% |
| 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 F93417’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 SAT late, does that still matter by the time it reaches LAS?
F93417 pushes back an average of 13.3 minutes late and reaches the gate at LAS an average of 6.0 minutes late. The 7.3 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 13.7 minutes on the taxiways at SAT, 3.7 minutes longer than a typical SAT departure in the same hour.
On arrival at LAS, F93417 spends 11.2 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 3.5 minutes longer than a typical LAS arrival (7.7 min).
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 1,413 SAT departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 583,484 arrivals at LAS. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves SAT
F93417 has one departure time, 9:32 PM, so this is what that hour at SAT is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 1,413 departures from SAT are scheduled in the 9 PM–10 PM hour over the period, against 130,520 across the whole day.
F93417 is scheduled out of SAT at 9:32 PM, in the 9 PM–10 PM bank. Departures from SAT in that hour arrive on time 70.6% of the time against 82.3% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 11.7 points worse before anything about this particular flight is considered.
Both airport figures cover every destination from SAT, so they describe the slot, not this journey; the route comparison is above. Why the hour matters.

When it goes wrong
The average describes a usual day. This is the day that ruins a connection.
59 min late
against a median of 11 min early
F93417 has an average that understates its risk: a typical arrival is 11 min early, but the worst tenth are 70 minutes worse than that. If the trip has something unmissable at the end of it, the median is the wrong number to plan against.
