These figures cover 251 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 15 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.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 07:05 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and DL 2412 runs level with that at 87.9%. 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 2412 quarter by quarter
DL 2412 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 93.2% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 77.2%, a swing of 16 points on roughly 84 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 2412 did best on Thursday at 93.9% on time and worst on Sunday at 76.5%. Each day rests on about 36 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

The latest arrival of the period was on 28 July 2026, 6 hours 42 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on four of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 28 July 2026 | 6 hours 42 minutes | Carrier |
| 4 July 2026 | 3 hours 43 minutes | Carrier |
| 28 December 2025 | 3 hours 10 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why DL 2412 runs late
Carrier accounts for 68% of the 2,494 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 68%Carrier
- 30%National Airspace System
- 2%Late-arriving aircraft
The largest share of delay minutes, 68%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 1,685 of the 2,494 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,494 delay minutes reported on DL 2412.
Cancellations run at 7.17%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in fifteen cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
6.0% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last an hour and a half, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 1,047 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.
DL 2412 is not only a LGA to SRQ flight. It also flew SRQ to LGA (251 flights, 78.5% 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. 251 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 2412
