These figures cover 364 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 8 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.

A 09:30 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 83.9%, and DL 3047 runs 4 points worse at 79.9%. 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 3047 quarter by quarter
DL 3047 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 100.0% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 58.4%, a swing of 42 points on roughly 73 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.

By weekday, DL 3047 did best on Wednesday at 86.5% on time and worst on Monday at 70.0%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Share of 353 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
5 of 32 late departures made up the time and arrived on time, 16% of them. In the other direction, 44 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 MYR.
The worst days
Worst days for DL 3047
The latest arrival of the period was on 26 October 2025, 2 hours 27 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as carrier-caused (crew, maintenance, fuelling, baggage). The same cause led on three of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 26 October 2025 | 2 hours 27 minutes | Carrier |
| 27 July 2026 | 2 hours 4 minutes | Carrier |
| 7 December 2025 | 1 hour 52 minutes | National Airspace System |

Delay causes
Why DL 3047 runs late
National Airspace System accounts for 49% of the 2,655 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 49%National Airspace System
- 38%Carrier
- 12%Late-arriving aircraft
- 1%Extreme weather
49% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 1,291 minutes out of 2,655, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 2,655 delay minutes reported on DL 3047.
Cancellations run at 3.02%, against 1.89% 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 2.5% 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.
DL 3047 is not only a ATL to MYR flight. It also flew MYR to ATL (348 flights, 89.9% 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. 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.
