Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s DL 2260, check with Delta Air Lines.

DL 2260 sits in the middle of the pack with a C+. About seven flights in ten arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 5 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land a little over an hour behind schedule. That rests on 268 flights, with a median arrival 3 minutes early.

The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so DL 2260 runs 5 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 47 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 268 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 9.4% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.

Schedule

When DL 2260 flies

DL 2260 flies AUS to LAS without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 15:25, used on 121 of 268 flights, with 15:54 (41 flights) and 15:59 (34 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 15:25 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and DL 2260 runs level with that at 72.9%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

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 89 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 2260 did best on Wednesday at 84.2% on time and worst on Friday at 60.5%. Each day rests on about 38 flights, so a gap of 24 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 2260 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 43% of the 5,311 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
43%
Late-arriving aircraft
38%
National Airspace System
14%
Extreme weather
4%

38% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 5,311 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 9 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 5,311 delay minutes reported on DL 2260.

Cancellations are rare at 0.75%, below the national 1.81% 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

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 9.4% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum 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. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.

DL 2260 is not only a AUS to LAS flight. It also flew LAS to AUS (266 flights, 65.5% on time) often enough to be scored on its own. Airlines attach one number to several legs of an aircraft's day, and each leg keeps its own record here, so check which city pair is on your booking before reading a rate.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 268 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.
