Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 5096, 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 5096 lands a B, about a point worse than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in four arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by about 2.2 hours on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 341 flights, with a median arrival right on schedule.

These figures cover 341 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 11.3% 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 5096 flies

OO 5096 flies DIK to DEN without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 08:15, used on 101 of 341 flights, with 08:20 (85 flights) and 08:30 (70 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 08:15 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and OO 5096 runs 8 points worse at 76.4%. 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 5096 quarter by quarter

By weekday, OO 5096 did best on Friday at 80.9% on time and worst on Tuesday at 68.8%. Each day rests on about 49 flights, so a gap of 12 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why OO 5096 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 54% of the 11,000 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
54%
Late-arriving aircraft
19%
Extreme weather
18%
National Airspace System
8%
Security
0%

Extreme weather accounts for 18% 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 2.9 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 10,537 delay minutes reported on OO 5096.

Cancellations sit at 1.17% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.59%.

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. 11.3% 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 same number turns up on four other city pairs in the data, including DEN to ATY (41), DEN to DIK (37) and ATY to DEN (24), but none flew often enough under OO 5096 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DIK to DEN only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 341 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.
