PPG delay-share reading

The standout signal at Pago Pago, TT is the delay mix: Carrier owns 49.5% of 16,952 delay minutes across 1,005 BTS flights. The on-time headline is 74.6% (4.4 pts below the 79% national average), with 255 delayed and 5 cancelled (0.50%).

Delay minutes concentrate in Carrier (42.4% late-aircraft, 49.5% carrier, 0.0% NAS, 6.9% weather, 1.2% security). As a quieter airport, a single late inbound can swing the month more than at a mega-hub.

On the multi-year calendar, PPG is strongest in September (93% on-time) and weakest in January (82.1%), a 10.9-point swing. Volume peaks in July (~25 flights/month). Field definitions: on-time performance explained.
