These figures cover 333 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 11 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.

A 10:20 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 83.9%, and DL 2007 runs level with that at 84.5%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year
DL 2007 quarter by quarter
DL 2007 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2026 at 91.5% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 79.5%, a swing of 12 points on roughly 83 flights a quarter. The twelve-month rate averages over that, so if you are flying in a weak quarter the quarter's own figure is the better guide.

By weekday, DL 2007 did best on Saturday at 91.9% on time and worst on Sunday at 73.8%. Each day rests on about 48 flights, so a gap of 18 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

The latest arrival of the period was on 18 November 2025, 3 hours 42 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on five of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 18 November 2025 | 3 hours 42 minutes | Carrier |
| 10 April 2026 | 3 hours 9 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why DL 2007 runs late
Carrier accounts for 74% of the 2,719 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 74%Carrier
- 14%Late-arriving aircraft
- 12%National Airspace System
The largest share of delay minutes, 74%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 2,021 of the 2,719 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,719 delay minutes reported on DL 2007.
Cancellations run at 3.30%, 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
5.6% 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 55 minutes, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 1,050 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 2007 is not only a MSP to BDL flight. It also flew BDL to MSP (332 flights, 82.0% 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. 333 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.
