These figures cover 308 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 13 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 F9 2911 flies

F9 2911 flies TPA to ATL without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 06:28, used on 49 of 308 flights, with 05:45 (41 flights) and 06:00 (41 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 06:28 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and F9 2911 runs 5 points worse at 83.9%. 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

F9 2911 quarter by quarter

F9 2911 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 87.0% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 72.2%, a swing of 15 points on roughly 77 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.

By weekday, F9 2911 did best on Thursday at 93.2% on time and worst on Saturday at 69.6%. Each day rests on about 44 flights, so a gap of 24 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why F9 2911 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. National Airspace System accounts for 57% of the 2,263 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.

57% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 1,287 minutes out of 2,263, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 2,263 delay minutes reported on F9 2911.

Cancellations sit at 1.30% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

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 8.1% 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.

Every one of the 308 flights under F9 2911 in the data flew TPA to ATL. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 308 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.

Booking F9 2911
