These figures cover 344 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 13 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.

The worst days
Worst days for DL 2795
The latest arrival of the period was on 28 February 2026, 9 hours 27 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as extreme weather. On three of the five worst days the largest share was filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage).
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 28 February 2026 | 9 hours 27 minutes | Extreme weather |
| 7 December 2025 | 7 hours 26 minutes | Carrier |
| 14 November 2025 | 7 hours 10 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why DL 2795 runs late
Carrier accounts for 53% of the 3,324 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 53%Carrier
- 24%Late-arriving aircraft
- 17%Extreme weather
- 7%National Airspace System
Extreme weather accounts for 17% 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 2.8 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 3,324 delay minutes reported on DL 2795.
Cancellations are rare at 0.29%, below the national 1.89% 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
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.5% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% 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.
Every one of the 344 flights under DL 2795 in the data flew MSO to SLC. 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. 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 2795
For a booking, DL 2795 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 92.4% on time and 0.29% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
