Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 5625, 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 5625 draws a C+. About one flight in three arrives at least 15 minutes late, and the typical late arrival is a little over an hour behind schedule. Build slack into anything you connect to. That rests on 321 flights, with a median arrival 3 minutes early.

The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so OO 5625 runs 12 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 120 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 321 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 9.7% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule. That is the number that wrecks a connection, and it is not visible in an on-time percentage alone.

Schedule

When OO 5625 flies

OO 5625 flies BFL to SFO without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 14:06, used on 56 of 321 flights, with 14:11 (48 flights) and 14:05 (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 14:06 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and OO 5625 runs 7 points worse at 65.6%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

OO 5625 quarter by quarter

OO 5625 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 77.2% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 43.3%, a swing of 34 points on roughly 80 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.

Jul–Sep 202579 flights77.2%
Oct–Dec 202561 flights67.2%
Jan–Mar 202690 flights76.7%
Apr–Jun 202691 flights43.3%

Scale runs 35% to 85%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, OO 5625 ranged from 60.5% on Tuesday to 71.4% on Saturday. With about 46 flights behind each day, a spread of 11 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why OO 5625 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 7,709 reported delay minutes.

National Airspace System
36%
Late-arriving aircraft
28%
Carrier
19%
Extreme weather
16%

Extreme weather accounts for 16% 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 2.6 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 7,709 delay minutes reported on OO 5625.

Cancellations are rare at 0.31%, 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

For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 9.7% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.

The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including SFO to BFL (31), but none flew often enough under OO 5625 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to BFL to SFO only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 321 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
