Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies OO3706 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
The aircraft flying OO3706 came in 15 or more minutes late on 10% 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 SLC: 599 of 605 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 |
|---|---|
| OO3706 | 10% |
| Network, same turn | 18% |
46 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 OO3706’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is lower than the network’s. There are not enough departures in both groups to compare how it left.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves SLC late, does that still matter by the time it reaches OMA?
OO3706 pushes back an average of 3.9 minutes late and reaches the gate at OMA an average of 0.5 minutes late. The 3.4 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 19.2 minutes on the taxiways at SLC, 1.8 minutes longer than a typical SLC departure in the same hour.
On arrival at OMA, OO3706 spends 6.7 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 1.4 minutes longer than a typical OMA arrival (5.3 min).
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 19,905 SLC departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 77,253 arrivals at OMA. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves SLC
OO3706 has one departure time, 8:45 PM, so this is what that hour at SLC is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 19,905 departures from SLC are scheduled in the 8 PM–9 PM hour over the period, against 365,355 across the whole day.
OO3706 is scheduled out of SLC at 8:45 PM, in the 8 PM–9 PM bank. Departures from SLC in that hour arrive on time 81.6% of the time against 83.9% across the airport’s whole day, so the hour OO3706 leaves in is an ordinary one for SLC and explains nothing about its record either way.
Both airport figures cover every destination from SLC, so they describe the slot, not this journey; the route comparison is above. Why the hour matters.
