QX delay-share reading
Across 200,419 BTS-reported flights (2021–2022), Horizon Air posts 85.7% on-time, 6.7 points above the 79% national flight-weighted average, with 28,682 delayed arrivals and 3,608 cancellations (1.80% of the book). When a flight runs late, the average delay is 59.0 minutes.
Delay minutes concentrate in Late Aircraft (40.1% late-aircraft, 36.7% carrier, 17.3% NAS, 5.5% weather, 0.3% security across 1,454,145 total delay minutes). That mix is this carrier’s fingerprint, not a fleet-wide template sentence.
On the multi-year calendar, QX is strongest in October (90.1% on-time on about 6,665 flights per month) and weakest in December (72.5%). The 17.6-point seasonal swing is why the dispatch plate stamps a season code for this airline alone.
