Period: July 2025 to June 2026

Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 5454, 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 5454 lands a B, 6 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in six arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by roughly 50 minutes on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 362 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, OO 5454's record is 6 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 62 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 362 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 5454 flies

OO 5454 flies DEN to ICT without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 13:55, used on 70 of 362 flights, with 13:47 (49 flights) and 14:25 (45 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 13:55 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and OO 5454 runs 5 points better at 83.8%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

By weekday, OO 5454 did best on Friday at 94.1% on time and worst on Monday at 73.1%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 21 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why OO 5454 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 53% of the 2,979 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
53%
Late-arriving aircraft
36%
National Airspace System
11%

36% 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 2,979 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 36 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 2,979 delay minutes reported on OO 5454.

Cancellations sit at 1.10% against a national 1.81%, 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 4.7% 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 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. 362 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, read OO 5454 as 83.8% on time with 1.10% cancelled over 362 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
