Why UA2113 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 UA2113 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
The aircraft flying UA2113 came in 15 or more minutes late on 6% 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 LAX: 450 of 600 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 |
|---|---|
| UA2113 | 6% |
| Network, same turn | 17% |
73 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 60 to 89 minutes. How often UA2113’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 LAX late, does that still matter by the time it reaches ORD?
UA2113 pushes back an average of 11.2 minutes late and reaches the gate at ORD an average of 6.3 minutes late. The 5.0 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. Its 19.9 minutes on the taxiways at LAX is about what any departure from the airport in that hour spends.
On arrival at ORD, UA2113 spends 20.0 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 2.1 minutes longer than a typical ORD arrival (18.0 min).
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 41,910 LAX departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 985,848 arrivals at ORD. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves LAX
UA2113 has one departure time, 10:52 AM, so this is what that hour at LAX is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 41,910 departures from LAX are scheduled in the 10 AM–11 AM hour over the period, against 611,647 across the whole day.
UA2113 is scheduled out of LAX at 10:52 AM, in the 10 AM–11 AM bank. Departures from LAX in that hour arrive on time 79.7% of the time against 81.3% across the airport’s whole day, so the hour UA2113 leaves in is an ordinary one for LAX and explains nothing about its record either way.
Both airport figures cover every destination from LAX, so they describe the slot, not this journey; the route comparison is above. Why the hour matters.

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 605 records of UA2113 operating LAX → ORD, 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 reported separately, not in the on-time rate.
