Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 5069, 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 5069 lands a B+, level with the national rate of 77.6%. Roughly one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by close to two hours on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 336 flights, with a median arrival 13 minutes early.

These figures cover 336 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 11.1% 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 5069 flies

OO 5069 flies SLN to IAH without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 11:20, used on 55 of 336 flights, with 10:17 (45 flights) and 10:45 (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 11:20 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and OO 5069 runs level with that at 78.0%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

OO 5069 quarter by quarter

OO 5069 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 84.8% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 71.1%, a swing of 14 points on roughly 84 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.

Oct–Dec 202589 flights78.7%
Jan–Mar 202689 flights79.3%

Scale runs 65% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, OO 5069 ranged from 74.5% on Saturday to 84.3% on Sunday. With about 48 flights behind each day, a spread of 10 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why OO 5069 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 60% of the 8,176 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
60%
Extreme weather
23%
National Airspace System
12%
Late-arriving aircraft
5%

Extreme weather accounts for 23% 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 3.7 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 8,176 delay minutes reported on OO 5069.

Cancellations are rare at 0.60%, 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

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 11.1% 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 DEN to JLN (4), but none flew often enough under OO 5069 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to SLN to IAH 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.
