GNV delay-share reading

The standout signal at Gainesville, FL is the delay mix: Carrier owns 43.1% of 236,541 delay minutes across 38,353 BTS flights. The on-time headline is 85.9% (6.9 pts above the 79% national average), with 5,406 delayed and 423 cancelled (1.10%).

Delay minutes concentrate in Carrier (40.6% late-aircraft, 43.1% carrier, 9.6% NAS, 6.6% weather, 0.1% security). Mid-volume books still show a clear delay fingerprint rather than a weather-only story.

On the multi-year calendar, GNV is strongest in September (95.5% on-time) and weakest in July (90.2%), a 5.3-point swing. Volume peaks in October (~574 flights/month). The busiest connecting route is to ATL (Atlanta) at 87.9% on-time. Field definitions: on-time performance explained.
