DL 2265 draws a C+. About one flight in three arrives at least 15 minutes late, and the typical late arrival is about an hour behind schedule. Build slack into anything you connect to. That rests on 263 flights, with a median arrival 3 minutes early.

The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so DL 2265 runs 11 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 112 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 263 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 10.7% 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 2265 flies

DL 2265 flies ATL to JAX without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 20:25, used on 43 of 263 flights, with 20:55 (38 flights) and 19:25 (31 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 20:25 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and DL 2265 runs 4 points worse at 66.4%. 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 2265 quarter by quarter

DL 2265 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 80.6% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 59.6%, a swing of 21 points on roughly 66 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 2265 did best on Wednesday at 75.8% on time and worst on Sunday at 50.0%. Each day rests on about 38 flights, so a gap of 26 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 2265 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 58% of the 5,021 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.

58%
Late-arriving aircraft
23%
Extreme weather
12%
National Airspace System
7%

Extreme weather accounts for 12% 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 2.0 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 5,021 delay minutes reported on DL 2265.

Cancellations are rare at 0.38%, 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. 10.7% 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 same number turns up on two other city pairs in the data, including RDU to DTW (21) and ATL to SDF (13), but none flew often enough under DL 2265 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to ATL to JAX only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 263 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 2265

For a booking, DL 2265 is one of the weaker ways to fly ATL to JAX: 9 points below the route as a whole. If the schedule allows, compare it with the other departures listed on the route page before settling on this one.
