DL 2193 lands a B, about a point worse than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in four arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by a little over an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 283 flights, with a median arrival 6 minutes early.

These figures cover 283 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 8.9% 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 2193 flies

DL 2193 flies ATL to CAE without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 18:30, used on 37 of 283 flights, with 17:29 (35 flights) and 18:00 (32 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 18:30 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and DL 2193 runs 9 points better at 76.8%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Against the route

DL 2193 next to ATL to CAE

Across the year

DL 2193 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter DL 2193 held fairly steady: 75.7% in Jul–Sep 2025, 76.5% in Oct–Dec 2025, 76.7% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 78.1% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 2 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

Jul–Sep 202570 flights75.7%
Oct–Dec 202552 flights76.5%
Jan–Mar 202686 flights76.7%
Apr–Jun 202675 flights78.1%

Scale runs 65% to 85%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, DL 2193 did best on Thursday at 88.1% on time and worst on Monday at 65.9%. Each day rests on about 40 flights, so a gap of 22 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 2193 runs late

Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 4,461 reported delay minutes.

Carrier
36%
Late-arriving aircraft
34%
Extreme weather
16%
National Airspace System
14%

Extreme weather accounts for 16% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 2.6 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 4,461 delay minutes reported on DL 2193.

Cancellations sit at 1.06% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

8.9% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including CAE to ATL (124), but none flew often enough under DL 2193 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to ATL to CAE only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 283 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 2193

For a booking, DL 2193 is one of the weaker ways to fly ATL to CAE: 7 points below the route as a whole. If the schedule allows, compare it with the other departures listed on the route page before settling on this one.
