Because the same number has served different journeys, the statistics above describe only the route YX5838 currently operates. Blending them would produce an average of two different flights.

Why YX5838 runs late

Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.

Share of the delay minutes US DOT attributed to each cause for YX5838 on DTW → CMH. A single late flight can carry more than one cause, and only delays of fifteen minutes or more are attributed at all.

Data and methodology

Calculated by FlyerIntel from 464 records of YX5838 operating DTWCMH, 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.
