Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 5060, 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 5060 sits in the middle of the pack with a C. About seven flights in ten arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 5 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land close to two hours behind schedule. That rests on 268 flights, with a median arrival 1 minute early.
The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so OO 5060 runs 5 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 47 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 268 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 14.3% 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 5060 flies
OO 5060 is scheduled to leave Houston (IAH) at 18:50 local time and reach Salina (SLN) at 20:58. That slot held for 252 of the 268 scheduled departures in the data, so the figures below describe one steady operation rather than a number that moved around the clock.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 18:50 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and OO 5060 runs 5 points better at 72.9%. 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 5060 quarter by quarter
OO 5060 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 79.1% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 66.7%, a swing of 12 points on roughly 89 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.

By weekday, OO 5060 did best on Saturday at 82.9% on time and worst on Thursday at 62.5%. Each day rests on about 38 flights, so a gap of 20 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why OO 5060 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 49% of the 8,525 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.
- 49%Late-arriving aircraft
- 26%Carrier
- 16%Extreme weather
- 9%National Airspace System
Extreme weather accounts for 16% 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 2.6 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 8,525 delay minutes reported on OO 5060.
Cancellations sit at 1.49% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 2.24%.
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. 14.3% 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 621 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 one other city pair in the data, including PIR to DEN (37), but none flew often enough under OO 5060 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to IAH to SLN only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 268 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 5060
For a booking, OO 5060 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 14.3% of its completed flights arrived an hour or more late, which a short layover will not absorb. If the onward flight is on a separate ticket, the risk sits with you.
