These figures cover 325 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 10 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 2213 quarter by quarter

The worst days
Worst days for DL 2213
The latest arrival of the period was on 23 November 2025, 9 hours 59 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on three of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 23 November 2025 | 9 hours 59 minutes | Carrier |
| 7 November 2025 | 9 hours 13 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 11 October 2025 | 8 hours 26 minutes | Carrier |
| 20 August 2026 | 3 hours 11 minutes | Carrier |
| 15 March 2026 | 2 hours 59 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
Delay causes
Why DL 2213 runs late
Carrier accounts for 56% of the 4,895 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 56%Carrier
- 24%Late-arriving aircraft
- 13%Extreme weather
- 7%National Airspace System
Extreme weather accounts for 13% 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 2.1 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 4,895 delay minutes reported on DL 2213.
Cancellations sit at 2.15% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.31%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
6.9% 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 an hour and a half, which a normal layover absorbs.
Every one of the 325 flights under DL 2213 in the data flew ATL to LEX. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 325 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 2213
For a booking, read DL 2213 as 82.0% on time with 2.15% cancelled over 325 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
