These figures cover 321 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 16 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 1380 quarter by quarter

The worst days
Worst days for DL 1380
The latest arrival of the period was on 23 July 2026, 14 hours 2 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 23 July 2026 | 14 hours 2 minutes | Carrier |
| 3 March 2026 | 7 hours 8 minutes | Carrier |
| 6 January 2026 | 2 hours 9 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why DL 1380 runs late
Carrier accounts for 73% of the 2,297 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 73%Carrier
- 19%Late-arriving aircraft
- 5%National Airspace System
- 2%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 73%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 1,685 of the 2,297 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,297 delay minutes reported on DL 1380.
Cancellations run at 3.43%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 30 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
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 2.9% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.
The 526 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.
DL 1380 is not only a PIT to ATL flight. It also flew ATL to PIT (305 flights, 92.2% 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. 321 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.
