The aircraft flying YX5627 came in 15 or more minutes late on 15% 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, 645 of 665 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.

YX5627 pushes back an average of 2.9 minutes late and reaches the gate at IND an average of 4.6 minutes early. The 7.5 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 20.0 minutes on the taxiways at BOS is about what any departure from the airport in that hour spends.

On arrival at IND, YX5627 spends 9.2 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 2.2 minutes longer than a typical IND arrival (7.0 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 IND. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 20,100 departures from BOS scheduled in the clock hour YX5627 most often leaves in. Taxi-in is landing to gate, compared against every arrival FlyerIntel has on file at IND (147,137 flights), not just YX5627’s own. More on taxi time.

YX5627 is scheduled out of BOS at 1:59 PM, in the 1 PM–2 PM bank. Departures from BOS in that hour arrive on time 78.2% of the time against 77.2% across the airport’s whole day, so the hour YX5627 leaves in is an ordinary one for BOS and explains nothing about its record either way.

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 YX5627 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. YX5627 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.
