OMA across all twelve months

These figures cover 2,348 departures from Eppley Airfield in June 2026. On time means an arrival less than 15 minutes after the scheduled gate time, the DOT's threshold, and the national comparison uses every US departure in the same month rather than the whole year.

Against the year

June next to OMA's other months

Against OMA's own year, June ran 6 points worse than the twelve-month rate of 80.7%, which makes it the worst of the twelve months in the data. Either side of it, May ran 81.8% on time and July 78.5%, so a trip moved by a few weeks would have landed in a better stretch.

Departure window

The best time of day to leave OMA in June

8am–11am332 flights82.1%

The 8pm–5am window is where this operation falls apart: 51.0% on time, against 89.6% for the 5am–8am slot. By evening the aircraft flying these rotations have absorbed a full day of small delays and there is no slack left to recover in. The 5am–8am window is the busiest, with 594 flights scheduled in it.

Carrier by carrier

Which airlines ran best at OMA in June

The choice of carrier is not cosmetic here. SkyWest Airlines arrives on time 82.5% of the time; Southwest Airlines manages 65.4%. Sample sizes sit next to every figure, because a two-point gap across 730 flights means less than a ten-point one.

Delay causes

What held OMA up in June

Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 44% of the 46,000 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.

Late-arriving aircraft
44%
Carrier
33%
National Airspace System
18%
Extreme weather
5%

44% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 46,000 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 9 to one. The split is drawn from 46,480 reported delay minutes.

Cancellations sit at 0.94% against a national 1.65%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.43%.

9.6% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 9.7% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.

What to do with this

Flying from OMA in June

For a June trip through OMA: plan on this being one of the airport's harder months. The 5am–8am departures held up best at 89.6% on time, and with 9.6% of arrivals an hour or more late, a connection here deserves more slack than the same trip in February would.
