Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 5641, 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 5641 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 10 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs about an hour. That rests on 326 flights, with a median arrival 9 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, OO 5641's record is 10 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 95 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 326 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 9 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 5641 flies

OO 5641 flies DEN to XNA without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 13:30, used on 157 of 326 flights, with 13:25 (116 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 13:30 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and OO 5641 runs 8 points better at 87.1%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

OO 5641 quarter by quarter

OO 5641 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 91.2% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 75.0%, a swing of 16 points on roughly 82 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.

By weekday, OO 5641 ranged from 83.0% on Saturday to 91.3% on Tuesday. With about 47 flights behind each day, a spread of 8 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why OO 5641 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 2,471 reported delay minutes.

Late-arriving aircraft
35%
Carrier
30%
National Airspace System
27%
Extreme weather
8%

35% 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 2,471 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 5 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 2,471 delay minutes reported on OO 5641.

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

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.6% 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 616 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 one other city pair in the data, including JAC to SFO (4), but none flew often enough under OO 5641 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DEN to XNA only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 326 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 5641

For a booking, OO 5641 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 87.1% on time and 0.31% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
