Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s B6 2080, check with JetBlue Airways.
B6 2080 earns an F, which is as low as this site's scale goes for a reason. Only 54.8% of flights arrive inside the 15-minute window, 23 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. Late arrivals average a little over an hour. Treat any tight connection here as a coin flip. That rests on 353 flights, with a median arrival 10 minutes late.
The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so B6 2080 runs 23 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 228 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 353 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 16.6% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.
Schedule
When B6 2080 flies
B6 2080 flies FLL to DCA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 20:00, used on 134 of 353 flights, with 18:25 (64 flights) and 18:20 (53 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 20:00 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and B6 2080 runs 16 points worse at 54.8%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year
B6 2080 quarter by quarter
B6 2080 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 64.6% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 46.4%, a swing of 18 points on roughly 88 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 202591 flights61.1%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights46.4%

Scale runs 40% to 70%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, B6 2080 did best on Saturday at 62.7% on time and worst on Sunday at 40.8%. Each day rests on about 50 flights, so a gap of 22 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why B6 2080 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 12,000 reported delay minutes.
- 39%National Airspace System
- 31%Late-arriving aircraft
- 26%Carrier
- 3%Extreme weather
39% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 4,591 minutes out of 12,000, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 11,782 delay minutes reported on B6 2080.
Cancellations run at 2.55%, against 1.81% 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
For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 16.6% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The 899 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. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.
Every one of the 353 flights under B6 2080 in the data flew FLL to DCA. 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. 353 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 2080
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on B6 2080: 2.55% of its 353 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs a little over an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
