Why YX5694 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
crew, maintenance, boarding and fueling, all within the carrier’s control
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
Share of the delay minutes US DOT attributed to each cause for YX5694 on LGA → PIT. 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 YX5694 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
The aircraft flying YX5694 came in 15 or more minutes late on 11% 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 LGA: 568 of 598 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 |
|---|---|
| YX5694 | 11% |
| Network, same turn | 18% |
51 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 45 to 59 minutes. How often YX5694’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 LGA late, does that still matter by the time it reaches PIT?
YX5694 pushes back an average of 4.5 minutes late and reaches the gate at PIT an average of 5.4 minutes early. The 10.0 minutes between those two figures are slack the published schedule already carries, so on average a late pushback on this flight is made up before the gate. Its 23.6 minutes on the taxiways at LGA is about what any departure from the airport in that hour spends.
On arrival at PIT, YX5694 spends 9.6 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 3.2 minutes longer than a typical PIT arrival (6.4 min).
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 27,330 LGA departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 136,657 arrivals at PIT. More on taxi time.
