Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s DL 767, check with Delta Air Lines.

DL 767 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 9 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs about an hour. That rests on 340 flights, with a median arrival 12 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, DL 767's record is 9 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 92 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 340 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 12 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 767 flies

DL 767 flies JFK to LAX without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 11:00, used on 91 of 340 flights, with 11:30 (81 flights) and 10:59 (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 11:00 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and DL 767 runs 8 points better at 86.8%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Against the route

DL 767 next to JFK to LAX

Every carrier on JFK to LAX combined arrived on time 77.6% of the time across 10,284 flights, so DL 767 is 9 points ahead of it. Delta flew 3,358 flights on the same city pair under all its flight numbers, including this one, and those ran 77.5% on time. Across its whole network Delta Air Lines managed 81.6%, which this flight beats by 5 points.

Across the year

DL 767 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter DL 767 held fairly steady: 89.0% in Jul–Sep 2025, 80.8% in Oct–Dec 2025, 89.9% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 87.1% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 9 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

Jul–Sep 202591 flights89.0%
Oct–Dec 202580 flights80.8%
Jan–Mar 202683 flights89.9%

Scale runs 70% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, DL 767 did best on Tuesday at 94.0% on time and worst on Wednesday at 76.0%. Each day rests on about 49 flights, so a gap of 18 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why DL 767 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 64% of the 2,678 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
64%
National Airspace System
32%
Security
2%
Extreme weather
1%

The largest share of delay minutes, 64%, 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 1,720 of the 2,678 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,678 delay minutes reported on DL 767.

Cancellations sit at 1.47% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.59%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.3% 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.

At 2,475 miles this is transcontinental flying, and long routes get a quiet structural advantage. Scheduled block time on a flight this length carries more padding in absolute minutes, so a twenty-minute late departure often still becomes an on-time arrival. Read the on-time rate here as slightly flattering next to a short-haul route with the same operational quality.

The same number turns up on two other city pairs in the data, including ATL to BTR (13) and BTR to ATL (13), but none flew often enough under DL 767 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to JFK to LAX only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 340 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 767

For a booking, DL 767 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 86.8% on time and 1.47% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
