Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 5267, 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 5267 earns a B+. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 7 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs roughly 45 minutes. That rests on 360 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, OO 5267's record is 7 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 67 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 360 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 5267 flies
OO 5267 flies DEN to XNA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 09:50, used on 114 of 360 flights, with 09:42 (58 flights) and 09:40 (51 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 09:50 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and OO 5267 runs level with that at 84.3%. 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 5267 quarter by quarter
OO 5267 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 90.9% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 77.2%, a swing of 14 points on roughly 90 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.
- Jul–Sep 202592 flights77.2%
- Oct–Dec 202590 flights90.9%
- Jan–Mar 202690 flights79.8%
- Apr–Jun 202688 flights89.8%
Scale runs 70% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, OO 5267 ranged from 80.0% on Friday to 88.2% on Monday. With about 51 flights behind each day, a spread of 8 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.
Delay causes
Why OO 5267 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 54% of the 2,583 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
- 38%Late-arriving aircraft
- 8%National Airspace System
38% 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 2,583 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 38 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 2,583 delay minutes reported on OO 5267.
Cancellations are rare at 0.83%, 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
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 2.8% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.
The 616 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.
Every one of the 360 flights under OO 5267 in the data flew DEN to XNA. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 360 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 5267
For a booking, read OO 5267 as 84.3% on time with 0.83% cancelled over 360 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
