These figures cover 364 flights between September 2025 and August 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.

Across the year
DL 2932 quarter by quarter

Share of 361 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
19 of 67 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 28% of them. In the other direction, 31 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 RDU.
The worst days
Worst days for DL 2932
The latest arrival of the period was on 12 December 2025, 11 hours 50 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on four of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 12 December 2025 | 11 hours 50 minutes | Carrier |
| 18 February 2026 | 4 hours 21 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 16 March 2026 | 3 hours 42 minutes | Carrier |

Delay causes
Why DL 2932 runs late
Carrier accounts for 43% of the 4,913 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 43%Carrier
- 29%National Airspace System
- 27%Late-arriving aircraft
- 1%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 43%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 2,102 of the 4,913 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 4,913 delay minutes reported on DL 2932.
Cancellations are rare at 0.82%, 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
6.9% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 980 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 364 flights under DL 2932 in the data flew MSP to RDU. 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. 364 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 2932
