Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s DL 2924, check with Delta Air Lines.

DL 2924 earns an A+. Close to nine flights in ten arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 10 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs roughly 35 minutes. That rests on 365 flights, with a median arrival 7 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, DL 2924's record is 10 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 100 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 365 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 7 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 2924 flies

DL 2924 flies SLC to MSP without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 11:15, used on 60 of 365 flights, with 10:55 (55 flights) and 11:00 (47 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Departs 11:1560 flights16.4%
Departs 10:5555 flights15.1%
Departs 11:0047 flights12.9%

Scale runs 0% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.

A 11:15 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and DL 2924 runs 9 points better at 87.6%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

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 79.3%, a swing of 14 points on roughly 91 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.

Jul–Sep 202592 flights79.3%
Oct–Dec 202592 flights91.3%
Jan–Mar 202690 flights86.5%
Apr–Jun 202691 flights93.4%

Scale runs 70% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, DL 2924 ranged from 82.7% on Sunday to 92.3% on Monday. With about 52 flights behind each day, a spread of 10 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why DL 2924 runs late

Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 1,658 reported delay minutes.

Carrier
38%
National Airspace System
38%
Late-arriving aircraft
23%
Extreme weather
1%

The largest share of delay minutes, 38%, 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 636 of the 1,658 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 1,658 delay minutes reported on DL 2924.

Cancellations are rare at 0.00%, below the national 1.81% 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 8.1% 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.

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. 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 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.
