These figures cover 305 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 6 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.

A 10:00 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 83.9%, and B6 2028 runs level with that at 82.9%. 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 2028 quarter by quarter
B6 2028 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 100.0% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 72.9%, a swing of 27 points on roughly 76 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.

By weekday, B6 2028 did best on Friday at 93.0% on time and worst on Saturday at 73.2%. Each day rests on about 44 flights, so a gap of 20 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Share of 299 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
6 of 42 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 14% of them. In the other direction, 15 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 EWR.
The worst days
Worst days for B6 2028
The latest arrival of the period was on 20 June 2026, 6 hours 21 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. Four of the five worst days fell in June 2026.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 20 June 2026 | 6 hours 21 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 27 June 2026 | 4 hours 26 minutes | Carrier |
| 6 November 2025 | 3 hours | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why B6 2028 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 42% of the 3,293 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 42%Late-arriving aircraft
- 30%Carrier
- 28%National Airspace System
42% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 3,293 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 42 to one. The split is drawn from 3,293 delay minutes reported on B6 2028.
Cancellations sit at 1.64% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.33%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
5.4% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 937 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 305 flights under B6 2028 in the data flew MCO to EWR. 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. 305 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.
