DL 2765 sits in the middle of the pack with a C. Close to three flights in four arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 4 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land a little over an hour behind schedule. That rests on 256 flights, with a median arrival right on schedule.

The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so DL 2765 runs 4 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 41 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 256 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 9.6% 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 2765 flies

DL 2765 flies ATL to BDL without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 18:59, used on 37 of 256 flights, with 19:08 (31 flights) and 19:54 (28 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 18:59 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and DL 2765 runs 5 points better at 73.5%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year

DL 2765 quarter by quarter

DL 2765 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 79.3% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 55.0%, a swing of 24 points on roughly 64 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.

Delay causes

Why DL 2765 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 48% of the 4,508 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
48%
National Airspace System
37%
Late-arriving aircraft
13%
Extreme weather
2%

The largest share of delay minutes, 48%, 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 2,180 of the 4,508 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 4,508 delay minutes reported on DL 2765.

Cancellations run at 2.73%, against 1.81% nationally. That is roughly one flight in 40 cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.

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. 9.6% 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 859 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 256 flights under DL 2765 in the data flew ATL to BDL. 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. 256 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 2765

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on DL 2765: 2.73% of its 256 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs a little over an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
