These figures cover 282 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 9.0% 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 2832 flies

DL 2832 flies VPS to ATL without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 14:55, used on 59 of 282 flights, with 17:00 (53 flights) and 14:45 (50 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 14:55 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and DL 2832 runs 5 points better at 77.3%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

DL 2832 quarter by quarter

DL 2832 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 82.4% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 61.1%, a swing of 21 points on roughly 71 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.

By weekday, DL 2832 did best on Wednesday at 90.2% on time and worst on Sunday at 66.7%. Each day rests on about 40 flights, so a gap of 24 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 2832 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 45% of the 5,522 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.

National Airspace System

Extreme weather
4%

45% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 5,522 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 12 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 5,522 delay minutes reported on DL 2832.

Cancellations sit at 1.06% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.35%.

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. 9.0% 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.

DL 2832 is not only a VPS to ATL flight. It also flew ATL to VPS (281 flights, 80.4% 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. 282 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.
