Source: FlyerIntel analysis of US DOT BTS data · June 2024 – July 2026 · The one thing about this specific departure that ranks most extreme against every other published flight number, out of everything FlyerIntel checks — shown only when something clears a real statistical bar, not for every flight.

YX5718 has cancelled 9.39% of its scheduled departures (59 of 628), against 3.85% for all BOS → EWR flights — this specific departure cancels 5.5 percentage points more 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 YX5718 specifically, not about the route it flies.

Share of the delay minutes US DOT attributed to each cause for YX5718 on BOS → EWR. Only delays of 15 minutes or more are attributed.

When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, YX5718 pushed back an average of 54 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 12 minutes late.

Each departure is matched to the flight the same aircraft flew into BOS just before it, using the tail number in the DOT file, 555 of 569 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.

YX5718 pushes back an average of 25.4 minutes late and reaches the gate at EWR an average of 23.4 minutes late. The 2.0 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 31.0 minutes on the taxiways at BOS, 7.5 minutes longer than a typical BOS departure in the same hour.

On arrival at EWR, YX5718 spends 10.9 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 EWR 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 EWR. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 27,363 departures from BOS scheduled in the clock hour YX5718 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 YX5718’s own. More on taxi time.

YX5718 is scheduled out of BOS at 6:15 PM, in the 6 PM–7 PM bank. Departures from BOS in that hour arrive on time 66.3% of the time against 77.2% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 10.9 points worse 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 YX5718 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. YX5718 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.
