Flights: 252
Period: July 2025 to June 2026

Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 5006, 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 5006 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 a little over an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 252 flights, with a median arrival 7 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, OO 5006's record is 6 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 57 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 252 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 7 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 5006 flies

OO 5006 flies PHX to PSC without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 18:05, used on 58 of 252 flights, with 16:56 (44 flights) and 19:15 (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 18:05 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and OO 5006 runs 15 points better at 83.3%. 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 5006 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter OO 5006 held fairly steady: 76.9% in Jul–Sep 2025, 86.3% in Oct–Dec 2025, 82.2% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 86.0% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 9 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

Jul–Sep 202539 flights76.9%

Scale runs 70% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, OO 5006 did best on Tuesday at 93.9% on time and worst on Thursday at 73.7%. Each day rests on about 36 flights, so a gap of 20 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why OO 5006 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 45% of the 3,257 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
45%
Late-arriving aircraft
43%
National Airspace System
8%
Extreme weather
4%

43% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 3,257 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 10 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 3,257 delay minutes reported on OO 5006.

Cancellations are rare at 0.00%, below the national 1.81% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Almost no flights are called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

5.6% 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 a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

The 962 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 ORD to TVC (31), ICT to DFW (11) and DFW to ICT (11), but none flew often enough under OO 5006 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to PHX to PSC only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 252 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 5006

For a booking, read OO 5006 as 83.3% on time with 0.00% cancelled over 252 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
