These figures cover 365 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 12 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.

Delay causes

Why DL 2569 runs late

Carrier accounts for 80% of the 3,227 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.

Carrier
80%
National Airspace System
19%
Late-arriving aircraft
1%

The largest share of delay minutes, 80%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 2,591 of the 3,227 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 3,227 delay minutes reported on DL 2569.

Cancellations are rare at 0.55%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.6% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.

Every one of the 365 flights under DL 2569 in the data flew JAX to ATL. 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

Booking DL 2569

For a booking, DL 2569 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 90.6% on time and 0.55% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
