Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 4684, 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 4684 lands a B, level with the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by a little over an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 364 flights, with a median arrival 7 minutes early.

These figures cover 364 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 9.9% 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
When OO 4684 flies
OO 4684 flies DEN to SAF without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 20:40, used on 104 of 364 flights, with 19:20 (78 flights) and 20:35 (47 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 20:40 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and OO 4684 runs 8 points better at 78.3%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year
OO 4684 quarter by quarter
OO 4684 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 84.4% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 70.5%, a swing of 14 points on roughly 91 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 flights84.4%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights79.1%

By weekday, OO 4684 did best on Wednesday at 86.3% on time and worst on Friday at 70.0%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 16 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why OO 4684 runs late
Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 6,197 reported delay minutes.
- 34%Late-arriving aircraft
- 33%Carrier
- 23%National Airspace System
- 10%Extreme weather
No single cause dominates. late-arriving aircraft at 34%, carrier at 33% and national airspace system at 23% split the 6,197 reported delay minutes between them. An even spread like this usually means the operation is running close to its designed capacity with no one obvious weak point, and it is the hardest pattern for a traveller to route around. The split is drawn from 6,197 delay minutes reported on OO 4684.
Cancellations sit at 1.92% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.55%.
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. 9.9% 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 OMA to IAH (1), but none flew often enough under OO 4684 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DEN to SAF only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 364 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 4684
