These figures cover 323 flights between July 2025 and June 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.

Schedule

When DL 2754 flies

DL 2754 flies ATL to TUL without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 08:15, used on 113 of 323 flights, with 08:38 (49 flights) and 08:10 (38 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 08:15 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and DL 2754 runs 7 points better at 91.1%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

By weekday, DL 2754 ranged from 87.2% on Monday to 93.8% on Thursday. With about 46 flights behind each day, a spread of 7 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why DL 2754 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 63% of the 1,352 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
63%
National Airspace System
21%
Late-arriving aircraft
15%
Extreme weather
1%

The largest share of delay minutes, 63%, 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 847 of the 1,352 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 1,352 delay minutes reported on DL 2754.

Cancellations sit at 2.17% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 1.9% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% 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.

The 674 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 2754 is not only a ATL to TUL flight. It also flew TUL to ATL (323 flights, 93.4% 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. 323 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.
