What the Data Says About PSA Airlines

Across 1,300,525 flights reported to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics between 2020 and 2025, PSA Airlines (OH) posted a 81.3% on-time rate, with 242,706 delayed departures and 40,714 cancellations. The carrier's average delay when flights run late is 84.0 minutes, and its cancellation rate of 3.13% sits alongside an overall delay rate of 18.7%. Those baseline numbers frame every comparison you can make with other carriers in the BTS dataset.

Digging into causes, Late Aircraft drives the biggest share of minutes lost, with Late Aircraft accounting for 47.8% of delay time and Carrier contributing 29.6%. Weather — often blamed informally — represents 7.6% of total delay minutes, while National Aviation System constraints such as air traffic control and airspace congestion make up 14.8%. Security delays remain the smallest bucket at 0.2%. Taken together, operational and scheduling factors outweigh weather as the dominant driver of PSA Airlines delays.

Seasonality matters too. Recent monthly data shows November 2024 as the best period for PSA Airlines with a 87% on-time rate, while December 2025 was the roughest at 66% on-time — a spread of 21 percentage points between best and worst month. For passengers choosing between carriers, the combination of a 81.3% on-time rate, 84.0-minute average delay, and 3.13% cancellation rate is the clearest summary of what to expect on PSA Airlines flights based on BTS reporting.
