Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 5460, 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 5460 earns an A+. Close to nine flights in ten arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 13 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs close to two hours. That rests on 278 flights, with a median arrival 16 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, OO 5460's record is 13 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 130 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 278 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 16 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 5460 flies

OO 5460 flies SMF to SFO without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 06:10, used on 116 of 278 flights, with 06:00 (60 flights) and 06:20 (56 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 06:10 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and OO 5460 runs level with that at 90.6%. 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 5460 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter OO 5460 held fairly steady: 93.0% in Jul–Sep 2025, 88.7% in Oct–Dec 2025, 88.6% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 92.0% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 4 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

Jul–Sep 202586 flights93.0%

By weekday, OO 5460 did best on Thursday at 97.2% on time and worst on Wednesday at 83.8%. Each day rests on about 40 flights, so a gap of 13 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why OO 5460 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 43% of the 3,107 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
43%
Extreme weather
34%
Late-arriving aircraft
16%
National Airspace System
6%

Extreme weather accounts for 34% 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 5.5 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 3,107 delay minutes reported on OO 5460.

Cancellations are rare at 0.36%, 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 4.0% 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 five other city pairs in the data, including LAX to SBA (41), SFO to STL (25) and BOI to ORD (1), but none flew often enough under OO 5460 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to SMF to SFO only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 278 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 5460

For a booking, OO 5460 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 90.6% on time and 0.36% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
