These figures cover 360 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 8.2% 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 DL 1372 flies
DL 1372 flies ATL to MCO without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 13:45, used on 127 of 360 flights, with 13:55 (91 flights) and 13:58 (39 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 13:45 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and DL 1372 runs 8 points worse at 70.5%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year
DL 1372 quarter by quarter
Quarter by quarter DL 1372 held fairly steady: 69.7% in Jul–Sep 2025, 70.3% in Oct–Dec 2025, 67.8% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 74.4% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 7 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.
- Jul–Sep 202592 flights69.7%
- Oct–Dec 202591 flights70.3%
- Jan–Mar 202689 flights67.8%

By weekday, DL 1372 did best on Tuesday at 80.8% on time and worst on Saturday at 63.5%. Each day rests on about 51 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why DL 1372 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 5,651 reported delay minutes.
- 42%National Airspace System
- 36%Carrier
- 20%Late-arriving aircraft
- 1%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 36%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. Unlike weather, that is a management outcome, and it is the category where the gap between two carriers on the same schedule is genuinely earned. It accounts for 2,058 of the 5,651 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 5,651 delay minutes reported on DL 1372.
Cancellations are rare at 0.28%, below the national 1.81% 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
8.2% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about 55 minutes, which a normal layover absorbs.
DL 1372 is not only a ATL to MCO flight. It also flew MCO to ATL (359 flights, 65.8% on time) often enough to be scored on its own. Airlines attach one number to several legs of an aircraft's day, and each leg keeps its own record here, so check which city pair is on your booking before reading a rate.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 360 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.
