Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s DL 2632, check with Delta Air Lines.
DL 2632 earns an A+. Close to nine flights in ten arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 10 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs close to two hours. That rests on 344 flights, with a median arrival 15 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, DL 2632's record is 10 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 95 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 344 flights between July 2025 and June 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.
Schedule
When DL 2632 flies
DL 2632 flies OMA to ATL without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 10:56, used on 39 of 344 flights, with 11:00 (35 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Scale runs 0% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 10:56 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and DL 2632 runs 3 points better at 87.1%. 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 2632 quarter by quarter
Quarter by quarter DL 2632 held fairly steady: 85.9% in Jul–Sep 2025, 83.7% in Oct–Dec 2025, 92.9% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 85.9% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 9 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

By weekday, DL 2632 did best on Wednesday at 95.9% on time and worst on Sunday at 80.0%. Each day rests on about 49 flights, so a gap of 16 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why DL 2632 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 71% of the 5,240 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.
- 71%Carrier
- 21%Late-arriving aircraft
- 5%National Airspace System
- 3%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 71%, 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 3,711 of the 5,240 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 5,240 delay minutes reported on DL 2632.
Cancellations are rare at 0.87%, below the national 1.81% 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
5.3% 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 close to two hours, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 821 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 2632 is not only a OMA to ATL flight. It also flew ATL to OMA (306 flights, 87.1% 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. 344 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 2632
