These figures cover 263 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 9 minutes early, which is the part an average hides: most flights here are fine, and the on-time rate is decided by a tail of badly late ones. On-time means under 15 minutes late, the DOT's own threshold.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 08:44 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 83.9%, and B6 2024 runs 3 points better at 86.7%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year
B6 2024 quarter by quarter
B6 2024 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 93.4% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 75.0%, a swing of 18 points on roughly 66 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.

Scale runs 65% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, B6 2024 did best on Saturday at 94.9% on time and worst on Monday at 80.5%. Each day rests on about 38 flights, so a gap of 14 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

The latest arrival of the period was on 7 October 2025, 3 hours 10 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. On four of the five worst days the largest share was filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage).
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 7 October 2025 | 3 hours 10 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 8 December 2025 | 2 hours 58 minutes | Carrier |
| 18 February 2026 | 2 hours 42 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why B6 2024 runs late
Carrier accounts for 50% of the 1,893 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 50%Carrier
- 30%National Airspace System
- 20%Late-arriving aircraft
The largest share of delay minutes, 50%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 955 of the 1,893 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 1,893 delay minutes reported on B6 2024.
Cancellations run at 2.66%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 40 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
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.1% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.
The 759 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.
The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including PBI to DCA (37), but none flew often enough under B6 2024 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to MCO to DCA only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 263 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 2024
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on B6 2024: 2.66% of its 263 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
