Schedule

When OO 5294 flies

Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

A 15:41 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and OO 5294 runs 2 points better at 74.4%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

OO 5294 quarter by quarter

OO 5294 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 81.8% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 66.7%, a swing of 15 points on roughly 91 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.

By weekday, OO 5294 did best on Saturday at 82.7% on time and worst on Friday at 58.8%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 24 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why OO 5294 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 45% of the 6,616 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
45%
Late-arriving aircraft
31%
National Airspace System
18%
Extreme weather
7%

The largest share of delay minutes, 45%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. Unlike weather, that is a management outcome, and it is the category where the gap between two carriers on the same schedule is genuinely earned. It accounts for 2,972 of the 6,616 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 6,616 delay minutes reported on OO 5294.

Cancellations sit at 1.37% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

8.9% 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.

Every one of the 364 flights under OO 5294 in the data flew DEN to CPR. 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. 364 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.
