Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s DL 2292, check with Delta Air Lines.
DL 2292 lands a B, 5 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in six arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by a little over an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 364 flights, with a median arrival 10 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, DL 2292's record is 5 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 47 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 364 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 10 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.
Schedule
When DL 2292 flies
DL 2292 flies TVC to DTW without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 06:00, used on 219 of 364 flights, with 06:20 (57 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 06:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and DL 2292 runs 7 points worse at 82.3%. 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 2292 quarter by quarter
DL 2292 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 94.4% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 69.0%, a swing of 25 points on roughly 91 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.

- Oct–Dec 202592 flights71.7%
- Jan–Mar 202689 flights69.0%

Scale runs 60% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, DL 2292 ranged from 78.8% on Friday to 87.8% on Monday. With about 52 flights behind each day, a spread of 9 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.
Delay causes
Why DL 2292 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 54% of the 4,801 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.
- 54%Carrier
- 33%National Airspace System
- 11%Extreme weather
- 2%Late-arriving aircraft
Extreme weather accounts for 11% 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 1.8 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 4,801 delay minutes reported on DL 2292.
Cancellations sit at 2.20% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
6.2% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including DTW to STL (1), but none flew often enough under DL 2292 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to TVC to DTW only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 364 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 2292
