DL 2182 lands a B, 6 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in six arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by roughly 45 minutes on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 262 flights, with a median arrival 9 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, DL 2182's record is 6 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 61 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 262 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 9 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.

Schedule

When DL 2182 flies

DL 2182 flies ATL to HSV without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 13:33, used on 60 of 262 flights, with 12:00 (33 flights) and 13:45 (28 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 13:33 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and DL 2182 runs 5 points better at 83.7%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

DL 2182 quarter by quarter

DL 2182 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 91.2% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 80.2%, a swing of 11 points on roughly 66 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 2182 ranged from 80.0% on Sunday to 85.4% on Monday. With about 37 flights behind each day, a spread of 5 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why DL 2182 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 46% of the 1,823 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.

Extreme weather

46% 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 1,823 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 46 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 1,823 delay minutes reported on DL 2182.

Cancellations sit at 1.53% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.38%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 2.3% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.

DL 2182 is not only a ATL to HSV flight. It also flew HSV to ATL (260 flights, 87.9% 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. 262 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.
