These figures cover 361 flights between September 2025 and August 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.

Delay causes
Why OO 5454 runs late
Carrier accounts for 54% of the 2,912 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 54%Carrier
- 36%Late-arriving aircraft
- 10%National Airspace System
- 1%Security
36% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 2,912 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 36 to one. The split is drawn from 2,912 delay minutes reported on OO 5454.
Cancellations sit at 1.11% against a national 1.89%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.8% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% 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 same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including ORD to TUL (1), but none flew often enough under OO 5454 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DEN to ICT only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 361 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 5454
For a booking, OO 5454 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 85.2% on time and 1.11% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
