Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 4894, 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 4894 earns an A+. Close to nine flights in ten arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 10 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs about an hour. That rests on 280 flights, with a median arrival 9 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, OO 4894's record is 10 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 95 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 280 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 9 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 4894 flies

OO 4894 flies LAX to XNA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 10:22, used on 37 of 280 flights, with 09:12 (33 flights) and 09:19 (31 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 10:22 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and OO 4894 runs 3 points better at 87.1%. 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 4894 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter OO 4894 held fairly steady: 91.3% in Jul–Sep 2025, 83.7% in Oct–Dec 2025 and 85.4% in Jan–Mar 2026. A spread of 8 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

By weekday, OO 4894 did best on Thursday at 100.0% on time and worst on Saturday at 76.9%. Each day rests on about 40 flights, so a gap of 23 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why OO 4894 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 56% of the 2,068 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
56%
Late-arriving aircraft
32%
National Airspace System
8%
Extreme weather
3%

The largest share of delay minutes, 56%, 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 1,165 of the 2,068 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 2,068 delay minutes reported on OO 4894.

Cancellations are rare at 0.36%, below the national 1.81% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is 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 3.9% 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.

The 1,371 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 XNA to LAX (187), DFW to LBB (27) and LBB to DFW (27), but none flew often enough under OO 4894 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to LAX to XNA only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 280 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 4894

For a booking, OO 4894 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 87.1% on time and 0.36% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
