These figures cover 319 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 2 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 2925 quarter by quarter
DL 2925 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 86.7% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2026 at 74.2%, a swing of 13 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.

Share of 317 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
8 of 47 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 17% 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 ORF.
The worst days
Worst days for DL 2925
The latest arrival of the period was on 25 October 2025, 3 hours 59 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. 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 |
|---|---|---|
| 25 October 2025 | 3 hours 59 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 21 July 2026 | 2 hours 59 minutes | Carrier |
| 16 March 2026 | 2 hours 18 minutes | Carrier |
| 22 September 2025 | 1 hour 30 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why DL 2925 runs late
Carrier accounts for 59% of the 2,541 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 59%Carrier
- 23%Late-arriving aircraft
- 18%National Airspace System
The largest share of delay minutes, 59%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 1,489 of the 2,541 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,541 delay minutes reported on DL 2925.
Cancellations are rare at 0.63%, 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.
The 516 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.
DL 2925 is not only a ATL to ORF flight. It also flew ORF to ATL (282 flights, 85.4% 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. 319 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.
