Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 5469, 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 5469 earns a B+. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 7 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs roughly 55 minutes. That rests on 274 flights, with a median arrival 10 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, OO 5469's record is 7 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 73 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 274 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 10 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 5469 flies

OO 5469 flies DEN to PSP without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 16:00, used on 68 of 274 flights, with 15:45 (53 flights) and 15:40 (37 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 16:00 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and OO 5469 runs 13 points better at 84.9%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

OO 5469 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter OO 5469 held fairly steady: 81.4% in Jul–Sep 2025, 85.7% in Oct–Dec 2025, 83.0% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 89.8% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 8 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

Jul–Sep 202543 flights81.4%
Oct–Dec 202591 flights85.7%
Jan–Mar 202690 flights83.0%

By weekday, OO 5469 did best on Wednesday at 90.0% on time and worst on Sunday at 76.3%. Each day rests on about 39 flights, so a gap of 14 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why OO 5469 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 2,181 reported delay minutes.

Late-arriving aircraft
36%
Carrier
36%
National Airspace System
28%
Extreme weather
0%

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 2,181 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 2,181 delay minutes reported on OO 5469.

Cancellations are rare at 0.73%, 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 4.8% 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 776 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty. It is also long enough that the aircraft usually flies three or four legs a day rather than six, which slows how fast delay compounds.

The same number turns up on seven other city pairs in the data, including TYS to ORD (24), ORD to CVG (14) and ORD to SDF (12), but none flew often enough under OO 5469 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DEN to PSP only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 274 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 5469

For a booking, read OO 5469 as 84.9% on time with 0.73% cancelled over 274 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
