Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s DL 2213, check with Delta Air Lines.

DL 2213 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 close to two hours on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 322 flights, with a median arrival 10 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, DL 2213's record is 6 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 58 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 322 flights between July 2025 and June 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.

Schedule

When DL 2213 flies

DL 2213 flies ATL to LEX without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 22:40, used on 101 of 322 flights, with 22:48 (36 flights) and 22:43 (35 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 22:40 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and DL 2213 runs 13 points better at 83.4%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year

DL 2213 quarter by quarter

DL 2213 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 91.7% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 76.4%, a swing of 15 points on roughly 81 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.

By weekday, DL 2213 did best on Thursday at 95.7% on time and worst on Sunday at 75.0%. Each day rests on about 46 flights, so a gap of 21 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 2213 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 51% of the 5,225 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.

Carrier
51%
Late-arriving aircraft
23%
Extreme weather
20%
National Airspace System
6%

Extreme weather accounts for 20% 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 3.3 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 5,225 delay minutes reported on DL 2213.

Cancellations sit at 2.48% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.31%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

6.1% 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 close to two hours, which a normal layover absorbs.

Every one of the 322 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. 322 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 83.4% on time with 2.48% cancelled over 322 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
