DL 2707 lands a B, level with the national rate of 77.6%. Roughly one flight in four arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by a little over an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 338 flights, with a median arrival 7 minutes early.

These figures cover 338 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 9.3% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.

Schedule

When DL 2707 flies

DL 2707 flies ATL to OMA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 19:05, used on 81 of 338 flights, with 17:45 (39 flights) and 19:50 (39 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 19:05 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and DL 2707 runs 9 points better at 76.9%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Against the route

DL 2707 next to ATL to OMA

Across the year

DL 2707 quarter by quarter

DL 2707 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 87.3% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 63.7%, a swing of 24 points on roughly 85 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.

Scale runs 55% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, DL 2707 did best on Saturday at 85.7% on time and worst on Friday at 71.4%. Each day rests on about 48 flights, so a gap of 14 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 2707 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 43% of the 6,098 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.

Carrier
43%
Late-arriving aircraft
28%
Extreme weather
18%
National Airspace System
11%

Extreme weather accounts for 18% 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 2.9 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 6,098 delay minutes reported on DL 2707.

Cancellations sit at 1.18% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.30%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 9.3% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.

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.

Every one of the 338 flights under DL 2707 in the data flew ATL to OMA. 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. 338 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
