Delay-cause breakdown by carrier for arrivals at one airport.

Tool description as the model sees it

Delay-cause breakdown at one US airport (as the ARRIVAL airport), by carrier, from BTS TranStats on-time data: arriving flights, how many arrived 15+ minutes late, cancellations, diversions, and delay minutes attributed to carrier, weather, NAS (air-traffic-control/system), security, and late-aircraft causes. Pass year and/or month to scope to a specific period; omit both to get every loaded month, most recent first. Rows beyond limit are reported via truncated/total_matching rather than silently dropped — narrow with year/month or page with limit/offset to see the rest. Unknown airport codes are refused with a clear error, never an empty success.

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`airport`	string	yes	Airport code, e.g. “ORD”.
`year`	number	no	Optional: scope to one calendar year.
`month`	number	no	Optional: scope to one month (1-12). Requires year to be meaningful alongside it, but works alone too (matches that month in any loaded year).
`limit`	number	no	Max rows to return, 1-200. Default 50. A truncated response carries truncated:true and total_matching.
`offset`	number	no	Pagination offset. Default 0.
