MFR delay-share reading

The standout signal at Medford, OR is the delay mix: Carrier owns 50.0% of 377,719 delay minutes across 67,186 BTS flights. The on-time headline is 86.8% (7.8 pts above the 79% national average), with 8,856 delayed and 535 cancelled (0.80%).

Delay minutes concentrate in Carrier (24.9% late-aircraft, 50.0% carrier, 11.9% NAS, 13.1% weather, 0.1% security). Mid-volume books still show a clear delay fingerprint rather than a weather-only story.

On the multi-year calendar, MFR is strongest in April (95.4% on-time) and weakest in December (90.9%), a 4.5-point swing. Volume peaks in July (~1,003 flights/month). The busiest connecting route is to SEA (Seattle) at 90.3% on-time. Field definitions: on-time performance explained.
