Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 5098, 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 5098 lands a B, 3 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in five arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by a little over an hour on average.

These figures cover 286 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 8.5% 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 5098 flies

OO 5098 flies DEN to DIK without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 14:10, used on 146 of 286 flights, with 14:25 (63 flights) and 14:23 (36 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 14:10 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and OO 5098 runs 8 points better at 80.1%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

OO 5098 quarter by quarter

OO 5098 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 86.7% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 72.0%, a swing of 15 points on roughly 72 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.

Jan–Mar 202652 flights72.0%

By weekday, OO 5098 ranged from 76.7% on Friday to 88.4% on Wednesday. With about 41 flights behind each day, a spread of 12 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why OO 5098 runs late

Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 3,935 reported delay minutes.

Carrier
38%
Late-arriving aircraft
37%
National Airspace System
16%
Extreme weather
8%

37% 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 3,935 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 4 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 3,935 delay minutes reported on OO 5098.

Cancellations sit at 1.40% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

8.5% 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 two other city pairs in the data, including DIK to DEN (202) and DEN to COD (5), but none flew often enough under OO 5098 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DEN to DIK only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 286 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 5098

For a booking, read OO 5098 as 80.1% on time with 1.40% cancelled over 286 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
