Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s DL 919, check with Delta Air Lines.
DL 919 sits in the middle of the pack with a C+. Close to three flights in four arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 4 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land about an hour behind schedule. That rests on 340 flights, with a median arrival 5 minutes early.
The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so DL 919 runs 4 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 41 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 340 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 8.0% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.
Schedule
When DL 919 flies
DL 919 flies ATL to LAS without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 18:30, used on 80 of 340 flights, with 19:15 (49 flights) and 17:03 (36 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 18:30 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and DL 919 runs 5 points better at 73.5%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year
DL 919 quarter by quarter
DL 919 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 80.0% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 64.2%, a swing of 16 points on roughly 85 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.

- Oct–Dec 202591 flights74.4%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights80.0%
- Apr–Jun 202667 flights64.2%
Scale runs 55% to 85%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, DL 919 did best on Wednesday at 87.8% on time and worst on Thursday at 56.2%. Each day rests on about 49 flights, so a gap of 32 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why DL 919 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 5,342 reported delay minutes.
- 40%Carrier
- 29%National Airspace System
- 20%Late-arriving aircraft
- 10%Extreme weather
- 1%Security
The largest share of delay minutes, 40%, 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 2,125 of the 5,342 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 5,342 delay minutes reported on DL 919.
Cancellations are rare at 0.00%, below the national 1.81% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Almost no flights are called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
8.0% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
At 1,747 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 one other city pair in the data, including PDX to DTW (14), but none flew often enough under DL 919 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to ATL to LAS 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 919
