Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 4766, 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 4766 sits in the middle of the pack with a C. About seven flights in ten arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 6 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land a little over an hour behind schedule. That rests on 336 flights, with a median arrival 2 minutes early.
The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so OO 4766 runs 6 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 61 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 336 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 11.3% 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 4766 flies
OO 4766 flies ORD to OKC without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 16:45, used on 107 of 336 flights, with 15:35 (41 flights) and 15:55 (37 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 16:45 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and OO 4766 runs level with that at 71.5%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

- Jul–Sep 202591 flights74.2%
- Oct–Dec 202569 flights72.7%

Delay causes
Why OO 4766 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 7,284 reported delay minutes.
- 33%Late-arriving aircraft
- 31%National Airspace System
- 25%Carrier
- 10%Extreme weather
- 1%Security
No single cause dominates. late-arriving aircraft at 33%, national airspace system at 31% and carrier at 25% split the 7,284 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 7,284 delay minutes reported on OO 4766.
Cancellations run at 2.98%, against 1.81% nationally. That is roughly one flight in 30 cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.
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. 11.3% 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 693 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.
The same number turns up on four other city pairs in the data, including PIT to ORD (16), MSP to ORD (5) and ORD to MSN (2), but none flew often enough under OO 4766 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to ORD to OKC only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 336 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 4766
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on OO 4766: 2.98% of its 336 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs a little over an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
