These figures cover 255 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 13 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 2093 quarter by quarter
DL 2093 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 86.7% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 68.2%, a swing of 19 points on roughly 85 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.
- Oct–Dec 202512 flights—
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights68.2%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights86.7%
- Jul–Sep 202662 flights77.6%
Scale runs 60% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, DL 2093 did best on Wednesday at 91.7% on time and worst on Sunday at 60.6%. Each day rests on about 36 flights, so a gap of 31 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 1 March 2026 | 4 hours 48 minutes | Carrier |
| 11 July 2026 | 4 hours 26 minutes | Carrier |
| 27 December 2025 | 3 hours 27 minutes | National Airspace System |

Delay causes
Why DL 2093 runs late
Carrier accounts for 42% of the 3,547 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 42%Carrier
- 36%National Airspace System
- 21%Late-arriving aircraft
- 1%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 42%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 1,493 of the 3,547 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 3,547 delay minutes reported on DL 2093.
Cancellations run at 3.14%, 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
7.8% 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 1,005 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.
The same number turns up on three other city pairs in the data, including TPA to JFK (78), GEG to SEA (71) and BOS to MCO (4), but none flew often enough under DL 2093 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to JFK to TPA only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 255 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 2093
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on DL 2093: 3.14% of its 255 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs about an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
