DL 3069 earns an A. Nearly every flight arrives inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 16 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs about an hour. That rests on 325 flights, with a median arrival 9 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, DL 3069's record is 16 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 158 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 325 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 9 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 3069 flies

DL 3069 flies ATL to BNA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 08:05, used on 70 of 325 flights, with 08:25 (66 flights) and 08:31 (48 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 08:05 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and DL 3069 runs 9 points better at 93.4%. 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 3069 quarter by quarter

DL 3069 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 96.7% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 86.7%, a swing of 10 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.

Jul–Sep 202592 flights96.7%
Oct–Dec 202580 flights92.2%
Jan–Mar 202662 flights86.7%

Scale runs 80% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, DL 3069 ranged from 87.5% on Tuesday to 97.8% on Wednesday. With about 46 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 3069 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 1,353 reported delay minutes.

Carrier
31%
Late-arriving aircraft
24%
National Airspace System
24%
Extreme weather
21%

Extreme weather accounts for 21% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 3.4 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 1,353 delay minutes reported on DL 3069.

Cancellations sit at 2.46% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.31%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.2% 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.

DL 3069 is not only a ATL to BNA flight. It also flew BNA to ATL (279 flights, 91.9% 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. 325 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.
