Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 5708, 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 5708 sits in the middle of the pack with a C. About seven flights in ten arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 5 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land a little over an hour behind schedule. That rests on 301 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.

The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so OO 5708 runs 5 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 53 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 301 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 12.3% 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 5708 flies

OO 5708 flies RAP to DEN without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 10:55, used on 97 of 301 flights, with 16:38 (47 flights) and 10:45 (36 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 10:55 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and OO 5708 runs 12 points worse at 72.3%. 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 5708 quarter by quarter

OO 5708 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 86.7% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 46.3%, a swing of 40 points on roughly 75 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 202588 flights46.3%
Oct–Dec 202546 flights77.3%
Jan–Mar 202683 flights80.7%

Scale runs 40% to 90%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, OO 5708 did best on Thursday at 77.3% on time and worst on Friday at 65.1%. Each day rests on about 43 flights, so a gap of 12 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why OO 5708 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 6,080 reported delay minutes.

Carrier
39%
National Airspace System
31%
Late-arriving aircraft
18%
Extreme weather
13%

Extreme weather accounts for 13% 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 2.0 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 6,080 delay minutes reported on OO 5708.

Cancellations run at 2.66%, against 1.81% nationally. That is about one flight in 40 cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.

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. 12.3% 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 two other city pairs in the data, including SAF to DEN (19) and SFO to PHX (1), but none flew often enough under OO 5708 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to RAP to DEN only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 301 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 5708

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on OO 5708: 2.66% of its 301 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs a little over an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
