Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 5827, 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 5827 lands a B, 5 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. About one flight in six arrives 15 minutes late or worse, and those flights are late by about an hour on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 363 flights, with a median arrival 8 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, OO 5827's record is 5 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 48 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 363 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 8.2% 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 5827 flies

OO 5827 flies DEN to LNK without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 13:55, used on 77 of 363 flights, with 13:45 (77 flights) and 13:40 (56 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 13:55 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and OO 5827 runs 4 points better at 82.4%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

OO 5827 quarter by quarter

OO 5827 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Oct–Dec 2025 at 86.4% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 76.4%, a swing of 10 points on roughly 91 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 5827 did best on Tuesday at 90.2% on time and worst on Thursday at 73.5%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why OO 5827 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 45% of the 3,809 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.

Carrier
45%
Late-arriving aircraft
37%
National Airspace System
13%
Extreme weather
5%

37% 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 3,809 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 3,809 delay minutes reported on OO 5827.

Cancellations sit at 1.93% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 1.10%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

8.2% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

Every one of the 363 flights under OO 5827 in the data flew DEN to LNK. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 363 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 5827
