These figures cover 332 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 10.5% 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 2293 flies

DL 2293 flies JFK to ATL without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 17:35, used on 84 of 332 flights. 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 17:35 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and DL 2293 runs 8 points better at 75.9%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Against the route

DL 2293 next to JFK to ATL

Every carrier on JFK to ATL combined arrived on time 76.7% of the time across 4,272 flights, so DL 2293 is about level with it. Delta flew 2,456 flights on the same city pair under all its flight numbers, including this one, and those ran 82.2% on time. Across its whole network Delta Air Lines managed 81.6%, which this flight trails by 6 points.

Across the year

DL 2293 quarter by quarter

DL 2293 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 86.4% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 67.0%, a swing of 19 points on roughly 83 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 2293 did best on Friday at 83.0% on time and worst on Sunday at 69.6%. Each day rests on about 47 flights, so a gap of 13 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 2293 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. National Airspace System accounts for 44% of the 7,325 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.

National Airspace System
44%
Carrier
28%
Late-arriving aircraft
22%
Extreme weather
6%

44% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 3,255 minutes out of 7,325, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 7,325 delay minutes reported on DL 2293.

Cancellations sit at 1.81% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.60%.

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. 10.5% 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 760 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.

The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including LAS to LAX (24), but none flew often enough under DL 2293 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to JFK to ATL only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 332 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 2293
