Why F93418 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 F93418 on LAS → SAT. Only delays of 15 minutes or more are attributed.

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies F93418 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, F93418 pushed back an average of 34 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 2 minutes early.
Each departure is matched to the flight the same aircraft flew into LAS just before it, using the tail number in the DOT file, 535 of 634 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| F93418 | 23% | 55% | 8% |
| Network, same turn | 17% | 68% | 9% |
The schedule leaves a normal turn: enough time to clean and board if the aircraft is on time, little to spare if it is not.
The network row is every flight with a scheduled turn of 60 to 89 minutes. How often F93418’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is higher than the network’s and, once the aircraft was late, how often F93418 left 15 or more minutes late is lower than the network’s.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves LAS late, does that still matter by the time it reaches SAT?
F93418 pushes back an average of 8.7 minutes late and reaches the gate at SAT an average of 2.4 minutes late. The 6.3 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. Its 19.8 minutes on the taxiways at LAS is about what any departure from the airport in that hour spends.
On arrival at SAT, F93418 spends 8.9 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 4.1 minutes longer than a typical SAT arrival (4.8 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 SAT. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 30,681 departures from LAS scheduled in the clock hour F93418 most often leaves in. Taxi-in is landing to gate, compared against every arrival FlyerIntel has on file at SAT (127,244 flights), not just F93418’s own. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves LAS
Part of any flight’s record belongs to the clock rather than to the flight. F93418 has one departure time, so this is what that time is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 30,681 departures from LAS are scheduled in the 3 PM–4 PM hour over the period, against 569,617 across the whole day.
F93418 is scheduled out of LAS at 3:24 PM, in the 3 PM–4 PM bank. Departures from LAS in that hour arrive on time 70.0% of the time against 78.0% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 7.9 points worse before anything about this particular flight is considered.
The two airport figures cover every departure from LAS 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.

Other routes F93418 has flown
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.
| Route | Operated | Flights | On time |
|---|---|---|---|
| SFO→LAS San Francisco to Las Vegas | June 12, 2024 – July 31, 2024 | 7 | — |
Because the same number has served different journeys, the statistics above describe only the route F93418 currently operates. Blending them would produce an average of two different flights.

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 636 records of F93418 operating LAS → SAT, 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.
