These figures cover 255 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 9 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.

Across the year
DL 2282 quarter by quarter
Quarter by quarter DL 2282 held fairly steady: 83.1% in Jan–Mar 2026, 90.1% in Apr–Jun 2026 and 82.0% in Jul–Sep 2026. A spread of 8 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.
- Oct–Dec 202512 flights—
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights83.1%
- Apr–Jun 202691 flights90.1%
- Jul–Sep 202662 flights82.0%
Scale runs 75% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, DL 2282 did best on Monday at 94.6% on time and worst on Saturday at 74.3%. Each day rests on about 36 flights, so a gap of 20 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

The worst days
Worst days for DL 2282
The latest arrival of the period was on 12 February 2026, 5 hours 15 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as extreme weather. The five worst days are spread across February, January, December and March, with no single month standing out.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 12 February 2026 | 5 hours 15 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 18 February 2026 | 4 hours 49 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 15 January 2026 | 3 hours 59 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why DL 2282 runs late
Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 2,436 reported delay minutes.
- 31%Carrier
- 29%Late-arriving aircraft
- 25%Extreme weather
- 15%National Airspace System
Extreme weather accounts for 25% 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 4.1 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 2,436 delay minutes reported on DL 2282.
Cancellations are rare at 0.78%, 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 4.4% 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.
DL 2282 is not only a SLC to JAC flight. It also flew JAC to SLC (255 flights, 88.1% 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. 255 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.
