These figures cover 285 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 2763 flies

DL 2763 flies ATL to DAY without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 12:15, used on 35 of 285 flights, with 12:20 (33 flights) and 11:15 (33 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 12:15 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and DL 2763 runs 11 points better at 89.7%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

DL 2763 quarter by quarter

By weekday, DL 2763 did best on Thursday at 95.0% on time and worst on Wednesday at 78.6%. Each day rests on about 41 flights, so a gap of 16 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 2763 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 67% of the 1,349 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
67%
Late-arriving aircraft
27%
National Airspace System
6%

The largest share of delay minutes, 67%, 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 904 of the 1,349 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 1,349 delay minutes reported on DL 2763.

Cancellations sit at 1.05% 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 2.8% 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.

DL 2763 is not only a ATL to DAY flight. It also flew DAY to ATL (282 flights, 90.3% 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. 285 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.
