DL 2372 lands a B, 4 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by a little over an hour on average.

These figures cover 365 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 7 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 2372 flies

A 23:05 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and DL 2372 runs 11 points better at 81.4%. 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 2372 quarter by quarter

- Oct–Dec 202592 flights83.1%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights83.7%

By weekday, DL 2372 ranged from 75.0% on Sunday to 86.0% on Tuesday. With about 52 flights behind each day, a spread of 11 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.
Delay causes
Why DL 2372 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 74% of the 5,304 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.
- 74%Carrier
- 16%Late-arriving aircraft
- 8%National Airspace System
- 3%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 74%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. Unlike weather, that is a management outcome, and it is the category where the gap between two carriers on the same schedule is genuinely earned. It accounts for 3,916 of the 5,304 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 5,304 delay minutes reported on DL 2372.
Cancellations sit at 2.47% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.55%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
6.5% 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.
Every one of the 365 flights under DL 2372 in the data flew ATL to ROA. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 365 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
