HPN delay-share reading

The standout signal at White Plains, NY is on-time standing: 79.1% (0.1 pts above the 79% national flight-weighted average; roughly the bottom-quartile on-time performance) across 117,692 BTS flights (2020–2025).

Delay minutes concentrate in Carrier (36.3% late-aircraft, 36.6% carrier, 17.6% NAS, 9.2% weather, 0.3% security). As a busy airport, that mix matters more for connection planning than for a thin schedule.
