Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s DL 3022, check with Delta Air Lines.

DL 3022 earns an A. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 8 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs a little over an hour. That rests on 322 flights, with a median arrival 10 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, DL 3022's record is 8 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 83 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 322 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 10 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 3022 flies

DL 3022 flies ATL to HSV without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 23:00, used on 97 of 322 flights, with 22:50 (44 flights) and 23:03 (36 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

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

A 23:00 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and DL 3022 runs 15 points better at 85.9%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year

DL 3022 quarter by quarter

DL 3022 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 91.0% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 74.5%, a swing of 17 points on roughly 81 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.

Oct–Dec 202590 flights91.0%
Jan–Mar 202690 flights85.1%

Scale runs 65% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, DL 3022 did best on Thursday at 93.6% on time and worst on Sunday at 80.0%. Each day rests on about 46 flights, so a gap of 14 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 3022 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 48% of the 3,043 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.

Carrier
48%
Late-arriving aircraft
41%
National Airspace System
6%
Extreme weather
5%

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 3,043 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 8 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 3,043 delay minutes reported on DL 3022.

Cancellations run at 2.80%, against 1.81% nationally. That is roughly one flight in 40 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

6.1% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

Every one of the 322 flights under DL 3022 in the data flew ATL to HSV. 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. 322 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 3022

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on DL 3022: 2.80% of its 322 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs a little over an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
