Interesting stats, presented in a more friendly way than some of the internet sites.
Two things:
i) Is this showing landing time delay, or at-the-gate delay times? (PHX can involve 15 minute trundles after landing);
ii) Are the two days 7th and 26th implying on-time or cancelled / No Data?

2) The 7th is my fault - I was travelling and therefore unable to collect the data that day. The 26th is related with the long delay highlighted in this thread. I am not sure how the BA/IAG source would report a days-old arrival.

1) Good question; BA/IAG's documentation does not mention this. Need to compare with other sources...

I can confirm that the 23rd arrived a few minutes early. This time of year is very favorable for BA at PHX with the fall schedule change. The later arrival usually means an eastbound arrival and a westbound departure, so one of the shortest taxi times possible for any airport really. Though it does mean flying around the airport, but that's usually faster than the taxi to the other end of the runway.

Ah true, I think I get it now. For any flight, BA's API allows for querying dep/arr times for day N, but this data is only available until 23:59 GMT on day N+1. Therefore, if the 288 departure is delayed long enough, the actual time would only finally be observable on day N+2 GMT, no longer available through the API.

Keep in mind this is the best it has been in a while. With the winter schedule change BA increased the schedule padding by 10 or 20 minutes. Due to the departure time from LHR, PHX seems to feel the impact of crew timeouts or earlier flights having tech delays leading to aircraft swaps. This is based on my opinion of watching this route for years and not based on first hand knowledge, so it's just "informed speculation".
