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 70 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 2080 did best on Thursday at 66.0% on time and worst on Sunday at 45.8%. Each day rests on about 50 flights, so a gap of 20 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Share of 338 completed flights by arrival against schedule.

Time lost at the gate mostly stays lost. Of 143 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, only 13 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 DCA.

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 10,000 reported delay minutes.

Late-arriving aircraft
33%
Carrier
32%
National Airspace System
31%
Extreme weather
4%

No single cause dominates. late-arriving aircraft at 33%, carrier at 32% and national airspace system at 31% split the 10,000 reported delay minutes between them. An even spread like this usually means the operation is running close to its designed capacity with no one obvious weak point, and it is the hardest pattern for a traveller to route around. The split is drawn from 10,439 delay minutes reported on B6 2080.

Cancellations run at 3.98%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 25 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

16.9% 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 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.

Every one of the 352 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. 352 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: 3.98% of its 352 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.
