These figures cover 279 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 8.8% 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 6447 flies
OO 6447 flies SAF to DFW without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 12:54, used on 73 of 279 flights, with 12:59 (37 flights) and 12:57 (32 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 12:54 departure sits in the 11am–2pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 78.8%, and OO 6447 runs 3 points worse at 75.7%. Midday slots inherit some of the morning's delays without yet carrying the full weight of the evening's.

Across the year
OO 6447 quarter by quarter
Quarter by quarter OO 6447 held fairly steady: 77.8% in Jul–Sep 2025, 79.1% in Oct–Dec 2025 and 69.4% in Jan–Mar 2026. A spread of 10 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

By weekday, OO 6447 did best on Tuesday at 89.7% on time and worst on Saturday at 47.4%. Each day rests on about 40 flights, so a gap of 42 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why OO 6447 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Carrier accounts for 43% of the 4,651 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.
- 43%Carrier
- 27%Extreme weather
- 17%Late-arriving aircraft
- 9%National Airspace System
- 3%Security
Extreme weather accounts for 27% 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 4.3 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 4,651 delay minutes reported on OO 6447.
Cancellations sit at 2.15% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.36%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
8.8% 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 a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 551 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 three other city pairs in the data, including DFW to SAF (234), STL to ORD (15) and ORD to STL (15), but none flew often enough under OO 6447 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to SAF to DFW only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 279 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.
