Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s OO 6260, 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 6260 draws a C+. About one flight in three arrives at least 15 minutes late, and the typical late arrival is about an hour behind schedule. Build slack into anything you connect to. That rests on 265 flights, with a median arrival 1 minute late.

The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so OO 6260 runs 12 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 121 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 265 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 6260 flies

OO 6260 flies LAX to SFO without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 16:53, used on 47 of 265 flights, with 20:35 (35 flights) and 20:00 (31 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 16:53 departure sits in the 2pm–5pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 72.4%, and OO 6260 runs 7 points worse at 65.5%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year

OO 6260 quarter by quarter

OO 6260 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 87.7% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 42.6%, a swing of 45 points on roughly 66 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 6260 did best on Tuesday at 78.8% on time and worst on Sunday at 57.5%. Each day rests on about 38 flights, so a gap of 21 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why OO 6260 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. National Airspace System accounts for 50% of the 5,028 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

Late-arriving aircraft
23%
Extreme weather
2%

50% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 2,517 minutes out of 5,028, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 5,028 delay minutes reported on OO 6260.

Cancellations are rare at 0.00%, below the national 1.81% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Almost no flights are 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 same number turns up on three other city pairs in the data, including GRK to DFW (44), LAX to SJC (2) and DSM to ORD (1), but none flew often enough under OO 6260 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to LAX to SFO only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 265 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 6260

For a booking, OO 6260 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.
