These figures cover 359 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 2 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.

Share of 357 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
27 of 92 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 29% of them. In the other direction, 20 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 ATL.
The worst days
Worst days for DL 1467
The latest arrival of the period was on 29 December 2025, 8 hours 37 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on three of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 29 December 2025 | 8 hours 37 minutes | Carrier |
| 14 June 2026 | 6 hours 23 minutes | Carrier |
| 8 November 2025 | 4 hours 39 minutes | National Airspace System |
| 18 March 2026 | 3 hours 58 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why DL 1467 runs late
Carrier accounts for 47% of the 5,441 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 47%Carrier
- 30%National Airspace System
- 19%Late-arriving aircraft
- 5%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 47%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 2,535 of the 5,441 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 5,441 delay minutes reported on DL 1467.
Cancellations are rare at 0.56%, 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
7.0% 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 about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 594 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 359 flights under DL 1467 in the data flew DTW 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. 359 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
