Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s DL 2211, check with Delta Air Lines.

DL 2211 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 50 minutes on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 301 flights, with a median arrival 4 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, DL 2211's record is 6 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 55 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 301 flights between July 2025 and June 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.

Schedule

When DL 2211 flies

DL 2211 flies ATL to PNS without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 16:59, used on 40 of 301 flights, with 16:49 (36 flights) and 16:41 (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 16:59 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and DL 2211 runs 11 points better at 83.1%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Against the route

DL 2211 next to ATL to PNS

Across the year

DL 2211 quarter by quarter

DL 2211 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 88.9% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 75.6%, a swing of 13 points on roughly 75 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.

Jul–Sep 202582 flights88.9%
Oct–Dec 202587 flights85.7%
Jan–Mar 202653 flights80.8%
Apr–Jun 202679 flights75.6%

Scale runs 65% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, DL 2211 did best on Wednesday at 95.2% on time and worst on Friday at 76.2%. Each day rests on about 43 flights, so a gap of 19 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 2211 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 2,405 reported delay minutes.

Carrier
39%
National Airspace System
23%
Late-arriving aircraft
22%
Extreme weather
17%

Extreme weather accounts for 17% 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 2.7 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 2,405 delay minutes reported on DL 2211.

Cancellations sit at 1.99% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.4% 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.

The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including PNS to ATL (236), but none flew often enough under DL 2211 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to ATL to PNS only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 301 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 2211

For a booking, read DL 2211 as 83.1% on time with 1.99% cancelled over 301 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
