Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 4714, 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 4714 lands a B, 6 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in six arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by close to two hours on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 340 flights, with a median arrival 13 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, OO 4714's record is 6 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 58 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 340 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 13 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 4714 flies

OO 4714 flies FNT to ORD without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:00, used on 246 of 340 flights, with 07:15 (77 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 07:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and OO 4714 runs 6 points worse at 83.4%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year

OO 4714 quarter by quarter

By weekday, OO 4714 did best on Thursday at 89.6% on time and worst on Friday at 75.5%. Each day rests on about 49 flights, so a gap of 14 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why OO 4714 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 60% of the 6,208 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
60%
National Airspace System
25%
Late-arriving aircraft
9%
Extreme weather
6%

The largest share of delay minutes, 60%, 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 3,742 of the 6,208 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 6,208 delay minutes reported on OO 4714.

Cancellations sit at 2.35% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.29%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

7.3% 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 close to two hours, which a normal layover absorbs.

The same number turns up on two other city pairs in the data, including ORD to TYS (35) and GSP to ORD (1), but none flew often enough under OO 4714 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to FNT to ORD only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 340 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.
