Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 4727, 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 4727 sits in the middle of the pack with a C. Close to three flights in four arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 4 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land a little over an hour behind schedule. That rests on 350 flights, with a median arrival 7 minutes early.

These figures cover 350 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 11.0% 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 4727 flies

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 4727 runs 3 points better at 73.5%. 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 4727 quarter by quarter
OO 4727 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 82.4% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 62.6%, a swing of 20 points on roughly 88 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 flights73.6%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights77.3%

By weekday, OO 4727 did best on Saturday at 81.8% on time and worst on Sunday at 68.6%. Each day rests on about 50 flights, so a gap of 13 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why OO 4727 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 6,330 reported delay minutes.
- 38%Carrier
- 34%National Airspace System
- 16%Late-arriving aircraft
- 13%Extreme weather
Extreme weather accounts for 13% 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 2.1 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 6,330 delay minutes reported on OO 4727.
Cancellations sit at 1.14% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.57%.
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. 11.0% 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 three other city pairs in the data, including ORD to TVC (1), DEN to XNA (1) and SFO to MSP (1), but none flew often enough under OO 4727 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DEN to OKC only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 350 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
