Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s DL 2463, check with Delta Air Lines.

DL 2463 lands a B, 3 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 an hour and a half on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 292 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.

These figures cover 292 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 8 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 2463 flies

DL 2463 flies CHS to MSP without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 15:20, used on 49 of 292 flights, with 15:06 (35 flights) and 15:07 (33 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 15:20 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and DL 2463 runs 8 points better at 80.6%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

DL 2463 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter DL 2463 held fairly steady: 75.0% in Jul–Sep 2025, 84.2% in Oct–Dec 2025, 84.8% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 81.8% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 10 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

By weekday, DL 2463 did best on Tuesday at 88.1% on time and worst on Sunday at 72.1%. Each day rests on about 42 flights, so a gap of 16 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 2463 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 45% of the 5,045 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.

45%
Carrier
32%
Extreme weather
14%
National Airspace System
9%

Extreme weather accounts for 14% 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 2.3 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 5,045 delay minutes reported on DL 2463.

Cancellations sit at 1.03% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

6.9% 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 an hour and a half, which a normal layover absorbs.

The 1,087 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.

DL 2463 is not only a CHS to MSP flight. It also flew MSP to CHS (292 flights, 83.7% 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. 292 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.
