Against the rest of the route
| Flight or route | On time | Cancelled | Median delay | Severe | Flights |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| YX4700 | 80.1% | 1.66% | -9 min | 5.9% | 603 |
| Republic Airways on CMH → DCA | 77.3% | 2.54% | -8 min | 7.4% | 2,838 |
| All CMH → DCA flights | 76.7% | 2.80% | -6 min | 8.1% | 6,290 |
YX4700 has cancelled 1.66% of its scheduled departures (10 of 603), against 2.80% for all CMH → DCA 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 YX4700 specifically, not about the route it flies.
5.9% of YX4700’s arrivals were an hour or more late, against 8.1% across CMH → DCA, so the long delays are less common on this number than on the route.

Why YX4700 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
Share of the delay minutes US DOT attributed to each cause for YX4700 on CMH → DCA. Only delays of 15 minutes or more are attributed. What the five causes mean

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies YX4700 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
The aircraft flying YX4700 came in 15 or more minutes late on 13% 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 CMH: 571 of 593 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 |
|---|---|
| YX4700 | 13% |
| Network, same turn | 18% |
Little slack sits between the inbound landing and this departure, so a late arrival has almost nowhere to go but into the departure.
The network row is every flight with a scheduled turn of 30 to 44 minutes. How often YX4700’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 CMH late, does that still matter by the time it reaches DCA?
On arrival at DCA, YX4700 spends 8.6 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 about what any arrival at DCA spends on the ground before reaching the gate.
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 7,653 CMH departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 447,280 arrivals at DCA. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves CMH
YX4700 has one departure time, 12:13 PM, so this is what that hour at CMH is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 7,653 departures from CMH are scheduled in the 12 PM–1 PM hour over the period, against 137,861 across the whole day.
YX4700 is scheduled out of CMH at 12:13 PM, in the 12 PM–1 PM bank. Departures from CMH in that hour arrive on time 81.9% of the time against 82.0% across the airport’s whole day, so the hour YX4700 leaves in is an ordinary one for CMH and explains nothing about its record either way.
Both airport figures cover every destination from CMH, so they describe the slot, not this journey; the route comparison is above. Why the hour matters.

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 603 records of YX4700 operating CMH → DCA, 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.
