Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 5024, 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 5024 lands a B, 5 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 342 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, OO 5024's record is 5 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 50 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 342 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 8 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 5024 flies

OO 5024 flies CYS to DEN without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 13:55, used on 69 of 342 flights, with 13:50 (58 flights) and 14:00 (51 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Scale runs 0% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.

A 13:55 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and OO 5024 runs 4 points better at 82.6%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

OO 5024 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter OO 5024 held fairly steady: 81.8% in Jul–Sep 2025, 84.4% in Oct–Dec 2025, 83.3% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 81.1% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 3 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

By weekday, OO 5024 did best on Tuesday at 92.0% on time and worst on Monday at 75.0%. Each day rests on about 49 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why OO 5024 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 54% of the 4,311 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.

54%
Carrier
26%
National Airspace System
11%
Extreme weather
9%

54% 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 4,311 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 6 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 4,311 delay minutes reported on OO 5024.

Cancellations sit at 1.75% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.58%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

5.7% 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 same number turns up on three other city pairs in the data, including DEN to CYS (70), DEN to SHR (32) and DEN to COD (1), but none flew often enough under OO 5024 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to CYS to DEN only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 342 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 5024

For a booking, read OO 5024 as 82.6% on time with 1.75% cancelled over 342 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
