OO 4279 earns an A+. Nearly every flight arrives inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 16 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs an hour and a half. That rests on 363 flights, with a median arrival 11 minutes early.

These figures cover 363 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 11 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 4279 flies

OO 4279 flies SLC to SGU without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 20:45, used on 233 of 363 flights, with 22:45 (129 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 20:45 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and OO 4279 runs 23 points better at 93.4%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Delay causes

Why OO 4279 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 97% of the 2,240 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
97%
Extreme weather
2%
National Airspace System
1%

The largest share of delay minutes, 97%, 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 2,165 of the 2,240 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,240 delay minutes reported on OO 4279.

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

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 1.1% 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 363 flights under OO 4279 in the data flew SLC to SGU. 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. 363 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 4279

For a booking, OO 4279 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 93.4% on time and 0.00% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
