What stands out

How UA2345 compares to other flight numbers, not just to itself.

This flight runs unusually far ahead of the carrier's own average on this route, better than 100% of 11,589 comparable flight numbers.

UA2345 has cancelled 1.01% of its scheduled departures (8 of 795), against 2.16% for all DEN → EWR flights — this specific departure cancels 1.1 percentage points less often than the route as a whole. Different flight numbers on the same route can carry different aircraft, crews and schedules, so this is a fact about UA2345 specifically, not about the route it flies.

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?

How often the plane that flies UA2345 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.

440 departures

UA2345 is usually the aircraft’s first flight of the day: the schedule gives it a median of 7.8 hours on the ground at DEN, so its “inbound” is mostly the aircraft’s arrival the evening before.

When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, UA2345 pushed back an average of 1 minute early; when it came in on time or early, an average of 4 minutes early.

Each departure is matched to the flight the same aircraft flew into DEN just before it, using the tail number in the DOT file, 629 of 787 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

Network, same turn29%12%9%

A night on the ground absorbs most of a late arrival, so a late inbound matters far less on a turn this long than on a same-day one.

The network row is every flight with a scheduled turn of 6 hours or more, usually overnight. How often UA2345’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is about the same as the network’s and, once the aircraft was late, how often UA2345 left 15 or more minutes late is lower than the network’s.

From pushback to gate

When it leaves DEN late, does that still matter by the time it reaches EWR?

Leaves the gate
1.5 minutes early
Average over 787 pushbacks
Taxi out at DEN
19.1 min
18.2 min for the airport in this hour
Taxi in at EWR
8.0 min
10.1 min for a typical EWR arrival
Reaches the gate at EWR
11.3 minutes early
Average over 784 arrivals

UA2345 pushes back an average of 1.5 minutes early and reaches the gate at EWR an average of 11.3 minutes early. The 9.9 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 19.1 minutes on the taxiways at DEN is about what any departure from the airport in that hour spends.

On arrival at EWR, UA2345 spends 8.0 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 shorter than a typical EWR arrival (10.1 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 EWR. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 33,948 departures from DEN scheduled in the clock hour UA2345 most often leaves in. Taxi-in is landing to gate, compared against every arrival FlyerIntel has on file at EWR (387,854 flights), not just UA2345’s own. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves DEN

Part of any flight’s record belongs to the clock rather than to the flight. UA2345 has one departure time, so this is what that time is worth.

UA234594.0%
All DEN departures, 6 AM–7 AM90.8%
All DEN departures, whole day76.0%

On-time arrival rate. 33,948 departures from DEN are scheduled in the 6 AM–7 AM hour over the period, against 963,099 across the whole day.

UA2345 is scheduled out of DEN at 6:00 AM, in the 6 AM–7 AM bank. Departures from DEN in that hour arrive on time 90.8% of the time against 76.0% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 14.7 points better before anything about this particular flight is considered.

The two airport figures cover every departure from DEN 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 UA2345 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. UA2345 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.

Data and methodology

Calculated by FlyerIntel from 795 records of UA2345 operating DEN → EWR, 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.
