UA1792

UA1792 arrived on time 68.9% of the time, against 77.7% for all EWR → DEN flights, so this departure is 8.8 percentage points worse than the route as a whole. Against United Airlines’ own flights on this route it is 8.8 points worse.

UA1792’s scheduled departure has moved during the period FlyerIntel has on file: it typically left around 8:30 PM earlier on, and around 9:00 PM more recently — a 30-minute shift, not the few minutes of day-to-day rounding every published schedule carries. Confirm the current departure time before booking around an older listing.

Share of the delay minutes US DOT attributed to each cause for UA1792 on EWR → DEN. Only delays of 15 minutes or more are attributed.

When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, UA1792 pushed back an average of 58 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 6 minutes late.

Each departure is matched to the flight the same aircraft flew into EWR just before it, using the tail number in the DOT file, 623 of 882 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.

UA1792 pushes back an average of 25.0 minutes late and reaches the gate at DEN an average of 15.6 minutes late. The 9.3 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 28.7 minutes on the taxiways at EWR is about what any departure from the airport in that hour spends.

On arrival at DEN, UA1792 spends 7.8 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 2.0 minutes shorter than a typical DEN arrival (9.8 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 DEN. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 21,644 departures from EWR scheduled in the clock hour UA1792 most often leaves in. Taxi-in is landing to gate, compared against every arrival FlyerIntel has on file at DEN (963,027 flights), not just UA1792’s own. More on taxi time.

UA1792 is scheduled out of EWR at 8:59 PM, in the 8 PM–9 PM bank. Departures from EWR in that hour arrive on time 66.9% of the time against 77.7% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 10.8 points worse before anything about this particular flight is considered.

The two airport figures cover every departure from EWR 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.

Because the same number has served different journeys, the statistics above describe only the route UA1792 currently operates. Blending them would produce an average of two different flights.

Every departure listed carries at least 600 operations, so the comparison is between figures that mean something. UA1792 is placed in the same ordering rather than left out of it; the rows around it are the most punctual departures on the route, not all of them, so this is a comparison and not a rank. Schedules change; confirm the departure still operates before booking around this.
