Does a late aircraft delay this flight?

How often the plane that flies YX5614 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.

Inbound aircraft late
6%
39 of 614 departures came in 15+ minutes late
Scheduled time on the ground
48 minutes
Median at BOS between the inbound and this departure

The aircraft flying YX5614 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.

Each departure is matched to the flight the same aircraft flew into BOS just before it, using the tail number in the DOT file, 614 of 653 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

The schedule leaves a normal turn: enough time to clean and board if the aircraft is on time, little to spare if it is not.

The network row is every flight with a scheduled turn of 45 to 59 minutes. How often YX5614’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 BOS late, does that still matter by the time it reaches MKE?

Leaves the gate
0.1 minutes early
Average over 653 pushbacks
Taxi out at BOS
21.8 min
20.2 min for the airport in this hour
Taxi in at MKE
6.5 min
5.7 min for a typical MKE arrival
Reaches the gate at MKE
5.3 minutes early
Average over 652 arrivals

YX5614 pushes back an average of 0.1 minutes early and reaches the gate at MKE an average of 5.3 minutes early. The 5.2 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. It spends 21.8 minutes on the taxiways at BOS, 1.6 minutes longer than a typical BOS departure in the same hour.

On arrival at MKE, YX5614 spends 6.5 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 MKE spends on the ground before reaching the gate.

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 MKE. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 28,214 departures from BOS scheduled in the clock hour YX5614 most often leaves in. Taxi-in is landing to gate, compared against every arrival FlyerIntel has on file at MKE (87,872 flights), not just YX5614’s own. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves BOS

Part of any flight’s record belongs to the clock rather than to the flight. YX5614 has one departure time, so this is what that time is worth.

YX561490.5%
All BOS departures, 9 AM–10 AM84.9%
All BOS departures, whole day77.2%

On-time arrival rate. 28,214 departures from BOS are scheduled in the 9 AM–10 AM hour over the period, against 440,893 across the whole day.

YX5614 is scheduled out of BOS at 9:10 AM, in the 9 AM–10 AM bank. Departures from BOS in that hour arrive on time 84.9% of the time against 77.2% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 7.7 points better before anything about this particular flight is considered.

The two airport figures cover every departure from BOS 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 YX5614 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. YX5614 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 661 records of YX5614 operating BOS → MKE, 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.
