These figures cover 361 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 10 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 OO 4262 flies

OO 4262 flies MSP to ABR without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 12:50, used on 122 of 361 flights, with 12:55 (111 flights) and 12:45 (52 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

A 12:50 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and OO 4262 runs 8 points better at 86.7%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

OO 4262 quarter by 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.

Delay causes

Why OO 4262 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 63% of the 4,638 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
63%
Extreme weather
29%
National Airspace System
8%

Extreme weather accounts for 29% 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 4.7 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 4,638 delay minutes reported on OO 4262.

Cancellations sit at 1.66% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.28%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

5.4% 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 an hour and a half, which a normal layover absorbs.

OO 4262 is not only a MSP to ABR flight. It also flew ABR to MSP (360 flights, 90.1% on time) often enough to be scored on its own. Airlines attach one number to several legs of an aircraft's day, and each leg keeps its own record here, so check which city pair is on your booking before reading a rate.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 361 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.
