Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 4013, 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 4013 sits in the middle of the pack with a C. About seven flights in ten arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 5 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land close to two hours behind schedule. That rests on 327 flights, with a median arrival 3 minutes early.
The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so OO 4013 runs 5 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 47 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 327 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 12.8% 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

Across the year
OO 4013 quarter by quarter
OO 4013 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 83.8% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 61.2%, a swing of 23 points on roughly 82 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, OO 4013 did best on Saturday at 84.4% on time and worst on Monday at 66.7%. Each day rests on about 47 flights, so a gap of 18 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why OO 4013 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 74% of the 9,540 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.
- 74%Carrier
- 18%Extreme weather
- 8%National Airspace System
Extreme weather accounts for 18% 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 3.0 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 9,540 delay minutes reported on OO 4013.
Cancellations sit at 1.83% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
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. 12.8% 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 four other city pairs in the data, including MSP to OMA (16), MEM to DTW (3) and DTW to MEM (3), but none flew often enough under OO 4013 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DTW to LEX only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 327 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 4013
For a booking, OO 4013 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 12.8% 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.
