Across the year
B6 1500 quarter by quarter
B6 1500 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 65.9% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 37.3%, a swing of 29 points on roughly 90 flights a quarter. The twelve-month rate averages over that, so if you are flying in a weak quarter the quarter's own figure is the better guide.
- Oct–Dec 202528 flights—
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights65.9%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights59.3%
- Jul–Sep 202662 flights37.3%
Scale runs 30% to 70%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, B6 1500 did best on Monday at 62.9% on time and worst on Sunday at 44.4%. Each day rests on about 39 flights, so a gap of 19 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Share of 263 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
Time lost at the gate mostly stays lost. Of 105 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, only 10 made it up before arrival. In the other direction, 18 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at BOS.
The worst days
Worst days for B6 1500
The latest arrival of the period was on 27 January 2026, 17 hours 20 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as extreme weather. On three of the five worst days the largest share was filed as a late-arriving aircraft.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 27 January 2026 | 17 hours 20 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 8 August 2026 | 6 hours 6 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why B6 1500 runs late
Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 9,548 reported delay minutes.
- 40%Late-arriving aircraft
- 31%National Airspace System
- 17%Extreme weather
- 12%Carrier
Extreme weather accounts for 17% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 2.8 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 9,548 delay minutes reported on B6 1500.
Cancellations run at 2.95%, against 1.89% nationally. That is roughly one flight in 30 cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
22.1% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The 1,068 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty.
Every one of the 271 flights under B6 1500 in the data flew DAB to BOS. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 271 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor but not enough to pin the rate down tightly, and a single bad week moves it by more than a point. Treat the grade as a rough reading.
What to do with this
Booking B6 1500
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on B6 1500: 2.95% of its 271 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs an hour and a half, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
