EV delay-share reading

Across 52,135 BTS-reported flights (2020–2020), ExpressJet Airlines posts 89.8% on-time, 10.8 points above the 79% national flight-weighted average, with 5,315 delayed arrivals and 4,035 cancellations (7.74% of the book). When a flight runs late, the average delay is 66.7 minutes.

Delay minutes concentrate in NAS (21.0% late-aircraft, 29.2% carrier, 44.4% NAS, 5.4% weather, 0.0% security across 318,521 total delay minutes). That mix is this carrier’s fingerprint, not a fleet-wide template sentence.

On the multi-year calendar, EV is strongest in April (96.5% on-time on about 4,656 flights per month) and weakest in January (84.8%). The 11.7-point seasonal swing is why the dispatch plate stamps a season code for this airline alone.
