These figures cover 363 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 6 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.

A 09:13 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 83.9%, and DL 2262 runs level with that at 84.2%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year
DL 2262 quarter by quarter
DL 2262 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 100.0% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 78.7%, a swing of 21 points on roughly 73 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 2262 did best on Thursday at 90.4% on time and worst on Wednesday at 73.1%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Share of 360 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
11 of 42 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 26% of them. In the other direction, 26 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at LAS.
The worst days
Worst days for DL 2262
The latest arrival of the period was on 18 May 2026, 8 hours 57 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 18 May 2026 | 8 hours 57 minutes | Carrier |
| 4 June 2026 | 3 hours 7 minutes | Carrier |
| 5 November 2025 | 2 hours 28 minutes | Carrier |
| 23 May 2026 | 1 hour 29 minutes | Carrier |
| 28 October 2025 | 1 hour 26 minutes | National Airspace System |
Delay causes
Why DL 2262 runs late
Carrier accounts for 59% of the 2,822 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 59%Carrier
- 29%National Airspace System
- 11%Late-arriving aircraft
- 1%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 59%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 1,663 of the 2,822 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,822 delay minutes reported on DL 2262.
Cancellations are rare at 0.83%, 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
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.9% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.
The 1,299 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 MSP (137), but none flew often enough under DL 2262 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to MSP to LAS only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 363 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 2262
For a booking, read DL 2262 as 84.2% on time with 0.83% cancelled over 363 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
