These figures cover 310 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 2211 quarter by quarter

The largest share of delay minutes, 44%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 1,695 of the 3,826 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 3,826 delay minutes reported on DL 2211.

Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
5.6% 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 same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including PNS to ATL (242), 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. 310 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 78.0% on time with 1.94% cancelled over 310 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
