  1. Initial Observed

    Hobby: 11 of 21 departures in the next 90 min have their aircraft due in with under 35 min to turn

    Of the 23 departures scheduled from Hobby (HOU) between 1:39 PM and 3:09 PM CST, FAA flight plans name the aircraft for 21. For 11 of those, the aircraft’s previous flight into HOU is due at the gate less than 35 minutes before the scheduled departure, or after it (FAA arrival times or estimates plus the airport’s typical taxi time); 4 of those inbound flights have not taken off yet. Measured by Tailodds from FAA flight data; it does not mean each of these departures will leave late.
