These figures cover 358 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 3 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 358 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
12 of 68 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 18% of them. In the other direction, 20 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at SLC.
The worst days
Worst days for DL 2607
The latest arrival of the period was on 7 December 2025, 15 hours 46 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). Three of the five worst days fell in December 2025.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 7 December 2025 | 15 hours 46 minutes | Carrier |
| 8 December 2025 | 3 hours 45 minutes | Carrier |
| 26 January 2026 | 3 hours 27 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 9 December 2025 | 3 hours 17 minutes | Extreme weather |

Delay causes
Why DL 2607 runs late
Carrier accounts for 61% of the 4,512 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 61%Carrier
- 19%National Airspace System
- 17%Late-arriving aircraft
- 3%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 61%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 2,742 of the 4,512 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 4,512 delay minutes reported on DL 2607.
Cancellations are rare at 0.00%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Almost no flights are called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
5.3% 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 about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 991 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.
Every one of the 358 flights under DL 2607 in the data flew MSP to SLC. 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. 358 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.
