Against the rest of the route
| Flight or route | On time | Cancelled | Median delay | Severe | Flights |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| YX5772 | 81.5% | 2.58% | -10 min | 6.0% | 621 |
| Republic Airways on DCA → LGA | 74.3% | 4.99% | -6 min | 10.3% | 12,083 |
| All DCA → LGA flights | 73.8% | 4.63% | -6 min | 10.9% | 14,653 |
YX5772 has cancelled 2.58% of its scheduled departures (16 of 621), against 4.63% for all DCA → LGA flights — this specific departure cancels 2.0 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 YX5772 specifically, not about the route it flies.
6.0% of YX5772’s arrivals were an hour or more late, against 10.9% across DCA → LGA, so the long delays are less common on this number than on the route.

Why YX5772 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
crew, maintenance, boarding and fueling, all within the carrier’s control
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
Share of the delay minutes US DOT attributed to each cause for YX5772 on DCA → LGA. 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 YX5772 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
The aircraft flying YX5772 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.
Matched by tail number to the aircraft’s previous flight into DCA: 536 of 606 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 |
|---|---|
| YX5772 | 15% |
| Network, same turn | 18% |
48 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 YX5772’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 DCA late, does that still matter by the time it reaches LGA?
YX5772 pushes back an average of 5.5 minutes late and reaches the gate at LGA an average of 0.8 minutes late. The 4.7 minutes between those two figures are slack the published schedule already carries, so a late pushback is partly, not fully, made up before the gate. It spends 24.6 minutes on the taxiways at DCA, 1.6 minutes shorter than a typical DCA departure in the same hour.
On arrival at LGA, YX5772 spends 8.8 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 LGA 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 43,080 DCA departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 467,477 arrivals at LGA. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves DCA
YX5772 has one departure time, 8:45 AM, so this is what that hour at DCA is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 43,080 departures from DCA are scheduled in the 8 AM–9 AM hour over the period, against 447,230 across the whole day.
YX5772 is scheduled out of DCA at 8:45 AM, in the 8 AM–9 AM bank. Departures from DCA in that hour arrive on time 83.1% of the time against 76.3% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 6.8 points better before anything about this particular flight is considered.
Both airport figures cover every destination from DCA, so they describe the slot, not this journey; the route comparison is above. Why the hour matters.

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 621 records of YX5772 operating DCA → LGA, 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.
