Across the year
DL 2260 quarter by quarter
DL 2260 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 80.5% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 61.5%, a swing of 19 points on roughly 83 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.

- Apr–Jun 202691 flights61.5%

Scale runs 55% to 85%.
By weekday, DL 2260 did best on Wednesday at 83.0% on time and worst on Friday at 57.4%. Each day rests on about 47 flights, so a gap of 26 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

The worst days
Worst days for DL 2260
The latest arrival of the period was on 2 May 2026, 7 hours 58 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on four of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 2 May 2026 | 7 hours 58 minutes | Carrier |
| 17 May 2026 | 7 hours 9 minutes | Carrier |
| 10 July 2026 | 5 hours 24 minutes | Carrier |
| 17 April 2026 | 4 hours 52 minutes | Carrier |
| 9 November 2025 | 4 hours 35 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
Delay causes
Why DL 2260 runs late
Carrier accounts for 44% of the 6,530 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 44%Carrier
- 40%Late-arriving aircraft
- 13%National Airspace System
- 4%Extreme weather
40% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 6,530 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 11 to one. The split is drawn from 6,530 delay minutes reported on DL 2260.
Cancellations are rare at 0.61%, 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
9.8% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The 1,090 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 one other city pair in the data, including LAS to AUS (237), but none flew often enough under DL 2260 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to AUS to LAS only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 330 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 2260
For a booking, read DL 2260 as 72.9% on time with 0.61% cancelled over 330 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
