Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 4002, check with SkyWest Airlines. SkyWest Airlines flies under contract for larger airlines, so a ticket for this flight may show a different airline code and number.
OO 4002 lands a B, 3 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by about 2.8 hours on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 336 flights, with a median arrival 10 minutes early.

Across the year
OO 4002 quarter by quarter
OO 4002 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 85.9% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 74.2%, a swing of 12 points on roughly 84 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 flights74.2%
- Jan–Mar 202688 flights78.3%

By weekday, OO 4002 did best on Saturday at 88.6% on time and worst on Wednesday at 75.0%. Each day rests on about 48 flights, so a gap of 14 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why OO 4002 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 76% of the 11,000 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.
- 76%Carrier
- 17%Extreme weather
- 6%National Airspace System
Extreme weather accounts for 17% of delay minutes, well above the single-digit share typical across the system. Weather delays are lumpy: they arrive as whole bad days rather than as a steady drag, so the quarterly figures above are the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 2.8 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 10,781 delay minutes reported on OO 4002.
Cancellations sit at 1.49% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.89%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 12.2% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including SAN to LAX (24), but none flew often enough under OO 4002 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to MSP to ATW only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 336 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 OO 4002
For a booking, OO 4002 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 12.2% of its completed flights arrived an hour or more late, which a short layover will not absorb. If the onward flight is on a separate ticket, the risk sits with you.
