These figures cover 282 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 4 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 2210 quarter by quarter
DL 2210 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 86.6% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 62.0%, a swing of 25 points on roughly 71 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 202567 flights86.6%
- Jan–Mar 202671 flights75.7%
- Apr–Jun 202674 flights80.8%
- Jul–Sep 202650 flights62.0%
Scale runs 55% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, DL 2210 did best on Wednesday at 87.2% on time and worst on Friday at 71.1%. Each day rests on about 40 flights, so a gap of 16 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

The worst days
Worst days for DL 2210
The latest arrival of the period was on 18 June 2026, 3 hours 54 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as extreme weather. On three of the five worst days the largest share was filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage).
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 18 June 2026 | 3 hours 54 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 10 October 2025 | 3 hours 4 minutes | Carrier |
| 26 September 2025 | 2 hours 58 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why DL 2210 runs late
Carrier accounts for 51% of the 3,789 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 51%Carrier
- 22%Late-arriving aircraft
- 16%National Airspace System
- 12%Extreme weather
Extreme weather accounts for 12% 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 2.0 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 3,789 delay minutes reported on DL 2210.
Cancellations are rare at 0.35%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
7.1% 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 640 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 two other city pairs in the data, including ATL to CLE (12) and CLE to ATL (12), but none flew often enough under DL 2210 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to ATL to GRR only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 282 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 2210
For a booking, read DL 2210 as 78.2% on time with 0.35% cancelled over 282 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
