ICT delay-share reading

The standout signal at Wichita, KS is the delay mix: Carrier owns 38.3% of 765,805 delay minutes across 109,987 BTS flights. The on-time headline is 82.2% (3.2 pts above the 79% national average), with 19,580 delayed and 1,343 cancelled (1.22%).

Delay minutes concentrate in Carrier (36.1% late-aircraft, 38.3% carrier, 17.0% NAS, 8.5% weather, 0.1% security). As a busy airport, that mix matters more for connection planning than for a thin schedule.
