Share of 280 completed flights by arrival against schedule.
Time lost at the gate mostly stays lost. Of 64 departures that left 15 minutes late or more, only 3 made it up before arrival. In the other direction, 22 flights left on time yet arrived 15 minutes late or more, so that delay built up after pushback: in the air, in a holding pattern or on the ground at RDD.

The latest arrival of the period was on 21 December 2025, 4 hours 17 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as national airspace system delay. Three of the five worst days fell in December 2025.

Delay causes
Why OO 5286 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 5,137 reported delay minutes.
- 30%Carrier
- 27%National Airspace System
- 25%Late-arriving aircraft
- 18%Extreme weather
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 3.0 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 5,137 delay minutes reported on OO 5286.
Cancellations are rare at 0.36%, below the national 1.89% 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
12.1% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The same number turns up on three other city pairs in the data, including ABQ to SFO (73), RDD to SFO (35) and LAX to LAS (3), but none flew often enough under OO 5286 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to SFO to RDD only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 281 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 5286
For a booking, OO 5286 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 12.1% 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.
