Why OO5494 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 519 records of OO5494 operating DEN → AMA, 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.
