Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 5910, 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 5910 lands a B, 6 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 an hour and a half on average. That is a workable record, not a spotless one. That rests on 365 flights, with a median arrival 9 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, OO 5910's record is 6 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 61 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 365 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 5910 flies

OO 5910 flies LNK to ORD without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:30, used on 87 of 365 flights, with 07:45 (77 flights) and 07:50 (53 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 07:30 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and OO 5910 runs 6 points worse at 83.7%. 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 5910 quarter by quarter

OO 5910 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 87.5% on time and its weakest Oct–Dec 2025 at 76.7%, a swing of 11 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.

Jul–Sep 202592 flights84.6%
Oct–Dec 202592 flights76.7%
Jan–Mar 202690 flights86.2%

Scale runs 70% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, OO 5910 did best on Thursday at 88.5% on time and worst on Wednesday at 76.0%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 13 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why OO 5910 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 60% of the 5,174 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
60%
National Airspace System
21%
Extreme weather
13%
Late-arriving aircraft
6%

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 2.1 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 5,174 delay minutes reported on OO 5910.

Cancellations sit at 1.92% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.55%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

7.6% 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 an hour and a half, which a normal layover absorbs.

Every one of the 365 flights under OO 5910 in the data flew LNK to ORD. 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. 365 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.
