These figures cover 273 flights between September 2025 and August 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.

A 08:15 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 83.9%, and DL 441 runs 6 points better at 90.2%. 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 441 runs late
Carrier accounts for 46% of the 1,137 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 46%Carrier
- 46%National Airspace System
- 8%Late-arriving aircraft
The largest share of delay minutes, 46%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 524 of the 1,137 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 1,137 delay minutes reported on DL 441.
Cancellations run at 2.56%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about 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
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 2.3% 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.
The 721 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty.
The same number turns up on three other city pairs in the data, including DAL to ATL (232), MSY to LAX (12) and MSN to ATL (4), but none flew often enough under DL 441 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to ATL to DAL only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 273 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 441
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on DL 441: 2.56% of its 273 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs roughly 45 minutes, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
