Across 763 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 83.7% on-time rate with an average delay of 128.3 minutes when flights run late.

Having 1 carrier on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 763 total flights analyzed, the 83.7% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 128.3-minute average delay applies only to flights that actually ran late, so it is not the average wait across all departures — the majority of flights on this route depart on time under the BTS definition of a delay (15+ minutes past schedule).
