These figures cover 349 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 16 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.

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.

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 93.5%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year
DL 3019 quarter by quarter
DL 3019 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 100.0% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 85.2%, a swing of 15 points on roughly 70 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.

The latest arrival of the period was on 24 July 2026, 5 hours 55 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). On three of the five worst days the largest share was filed as a late-arriving aircraft.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 24 July 2026 | 5 hours 55 minutes | Carrier |
| 6 March 2026 | 5 hours 8 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why DL 3019 runs late
Carrier accounts for 45% of the 2,437 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 45%Carrier
- 31%Late-arriving aircraft
- 13%National Airspace System
- 11%Extreme weather
The largest share of delay minutes, 45%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 1,098 of the 2,437 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,437 delay minutes reported on DL 3019.
Cancellations run at 3.15%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about 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 3.8% 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.
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: 3.15% 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.
