These figures cover 365 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 8 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.

Across the year
DL 2924 quarter by quarter
DL 2924 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 93.4% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 70.0%, a swing of 23 points on roughly 73 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 2924 did best on Tuesday at 96.2% on time and worst on Friday at 78.8%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Share of 364 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
10 of 36 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 28% of them. In the other direction, 19 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at MSP.
The worst days
Worst days for DL 2924
The latest arrival of the period was on 15 March 2026, 4 hours 27 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as national airspace system delay. The five worst days are spread across March, August and December, with no single month standing out.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 15 March 2026 | 4 hours 27 minutes | National Airspace System |
| 21 August 2026 | 2 hours 38 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why DL 2924 runs late
National Airspace System accounts for 44% of the 1,565 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 44%National Airspace System
- 31%Carrier
- 21%Late-arriving aircraft
- 4%Extreme weather
44% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 693 minutes out of 1,565, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 1,565 delay minutes reported on DL 2924.
Cancellations are rare at 0.00%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Almost no flights are 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 1.4% 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.
The 991 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.
Every one of the 365 flights under DL 2924 in the data flew SLC to MSP. 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. 365 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 2924
For a booking, DL 2924 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 87.6% on time and 0.00% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
