Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s DL 2062, check with Delta Air Lines.

DL 2062 draws a C+. About one flight in three arrives at least 15 minutes late, and the typical late arrival is an hour and a half behind schedule. Build slack into anything you connect to. That rests on 261 flights, with a median arrival 1 minute late.

The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so DL 2062 runs 11 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 109 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 261 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 14.2% 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 2062 flies

DL 2062 flies AUS to MSP without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 14:30, used on 35 of 261 flights, with 14:50 (35 flights) and 14:35 (31 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 14:30 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and DL 2062 runs 6 points worse at 66.7%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

DL 2062 quarter by quarter

DL 2062 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 74.7% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 60.9%, a swing of 14 points on roughly 87 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 2062 did best on Monday at 71.1% on time and worst on Friday at 54.1%. Each day rests on about 37 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 2062 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 54% of the 7,672 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.

54% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 7,672 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 48 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 7,672 delay minutes reported on DL 2062.

Cancellations are rare at 0.00%, below the national 1.81% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Almost no flights are called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 14.2% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.

The 1,042 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. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.

The same number turns up on three other city pairs in the data, including MSP to AUS (139), DTW to RDU (13) and RDU to DTW (13), but none flew often enough under DL 2062 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to AUS to MSP only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 261 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

Booking DL 2062

For a booking, DL 2062 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 14.2% of its completed flights arrived an hour or more late, which a short layover will not absorb. If the onward flight is on a separate ticket, the risk sits with you.
