Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s DL 3019, check with Delta Air Lines.

DL 3019 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 15 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs close to two hours. That rests on 349 flights, with a median arrival 15 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, DL 3019's record is 15 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 153 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 349 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 15 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 3019 flies

DL 3019 is scheduled to leave Pensacola (PNS) at 06:00 local time and reach Atlanta (ATL) at 08:15. That slot held for 349 of the 349 scheduled departures in the data, so the figures below describe one steady operation rather than a number that moved around the clock.

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

A 06:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and DL 3019 runs 4 points better at 92.9%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Against the route

DL 3019 next to PNS to ATL

Across the year

DL 3019 quarter by quarter

DL 3019 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 97.8% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 85.2%, a swing of 13 points on roughly 87 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.

Scale runs 75% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, DL 3019 ranged from 89.8% on Friday to 100.0% on Wednesday. With about 50 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 3019 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 2,666 reported delay minutes.

Late-arriving aircraft
41%
Carrier
36%
National Airspace System
13%
Extreme weather
10%

41% 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 2,666 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 4 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 2,666 delay minutes reported on DL 3019.

Cancellations run at 2.87%, against 1.81% nationally. That is roughly one flight in 30 cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.1% 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.

Every one of the 349 flights under DL 3019 in the data flew PNS to ATL. 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. 349 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 3019

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on DL 3019: 2.87% of its 349 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs close to two hours, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
