These figures cover 276 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.

Across the year
DL 1495 quarter by quarter
DL 1495 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 83.6% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 70.0%, a swing of 14 points on roughly 69 flights a quarter.

The latest arrival of the period was on 1 March 2026, 8 hours 47 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 March 2026 | 8 hours 47 minutes | Carrier |
| 16 March 2026 | 4 hours 56 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 7 December 2025 | 4 hours 53 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why DL 1495 runs late
Carrier accounts for 56% of the 4,145 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 56%Carrier
- 30%Late-arriving aircraft
- 12%National Airspace System
- 2%Extreme weather
- 1%Security
The largest share of delay minutes, 56%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 2,307 of the 4,145 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 4,145 delay minutes reported on DL 1495.
Cancellations are rare at 0.72%, 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
7.3% 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 545 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 276 flights under DL 1495 in the data flew ATL to PBI. 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. 276 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.
