These figures cover 356 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 12 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.

Across the year
DL 1326 quarter by quarter

The worst days
Worst days for DL 1326
The latest arrival of the period was on 9 February 2026, 9 hours 25 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on four of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 9 February 2026 | 9 hours 25 minutes | Carrier |
| 11 July 2026 | 7 hours 20 minutes | Carrier |
| 4 August 2026 | 6 hours 8 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 6 January 2026 | 4 hours 57 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why DL 1326 runs late
Carrier accounts for 64% of the 4,604 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 64%Carrier
- 18%National Airspace System
- 13%Late-arriving aircraft
- 4%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 64%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 2,955 of the 4,604 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 4,604 delay minutes reported on DL 1326.
Cancellations are rare at 0.84%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
5.7% 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 close to two hours, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 581 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 356 flights under DL 1326 in the data flew FLL to ATL. 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. 356 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 DL 1326
For a booking, DL 1326 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 88.7% on time and 0.84% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
