Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 5694, 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 5694 sits in the middle of the pack with a C+. About seven flights in ten arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 6 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land an hour and a half behind schedule. That rests on 326 flights, with a median arrival 1 minute early.

The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so OO 5694 runs 6 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 64 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 326 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 12.9% 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 5694 flies

OO 5694 flies XNA to DEN without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 17:05, used on 142 of 326 flights, with 17:06 (41 flights) and 17:09 (40 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 17:05 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and OO 5694 runs 3 points better at 71.2%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year

OO 5694 quarter by quarter

OO 5694 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 81.1% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 51.0%, a swing of 30 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.

Jul–Sep 202555 flights51.0%
Oct–Dec 202590 flights81.1%
Jan–Mar 202690 flights73.9%

Scale runs 45% to 85%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, OO 5694 did best on Sunday at 78.3% on time and worst on Monday at 63.8%. Each day rests on about 47 flights, so a gap of 15 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why OO 5694 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 8,234 reported delay minutes.

Late-arriving aircraft
40%
National Airspace System
39%
Carrier
15%
Extreme weather
6%

40% 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 8,234 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 7 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 8,234 delay minutes reported on OO 5694.

Cancellations are rare at 0.61%, 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. 12.9% 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 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 GRB to ORD (2), but none flew often enough under OO 5694 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to XNA to DEN 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 5694

For a booking, OO 5694 is a flight to put a long connection behind. 12.9% of its completed flights arrived an hour or more late, which a short layover will not absorb. If the onward flight is on a separate ticket, the risk sits with you.
