These figures cover 344 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 11 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 3108 flies

DL 3108 flies ATL to DAY without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 08:55, used on 142 of 344 flights, with 09:20 (38 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 08:55 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and DL 3108 runs 4 points better at 88.1%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Delay causes

Why DL 3108 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 66% of the 1,866 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
    66%
  • Late-arriving aircraft
    20%
  • National Airspace System
    10%
  • Extreme weather
    5%

The largest share of delay minutes, 66%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. Unlike weather, that is a management outcome, and it is the category where the gap between two carriers on the same schedule is genuinely earned. It accounts for 1,229 of the 1,866 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 1,866 delay minutes reported on DL 3108.

Cancellations sit at 1.74% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.29%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 2.4% 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 3108 is not only a ATL to DAY flight. It also flew DAY to ATL (343 flights, 91.1% 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. 344 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.
