YX delay-share reading

Across 1,812,114 BTS-reported flights (2020–2025), Republic Airways posts 84.9% on-time, 5.9 points above the 79% national flight-weighted average, with 273,183 delayed arrivals and 56,267 cancellations (3.11% of the book). When a flight runs late, the average delay is 73.3 minutes.

Delay minutes concentrate in Late Aircraft (34.4% late-aircraft, 27.7% carrier, 31.5% NAS, 6.3% weather, 0.1% security across 18,622,830 total delay minutes). That mix is this carrier’s fingerprint, not a fleet-wide template sentence.

On the multi-year calendar, YX is strongest in September (88.1% on-time on about 24,840 flights per month) and weakest in July (79.6%). The 8.5-point seasonal swing is why the dispatch plate stamps a season code for this airline alone.
