UA 1207 earns an A. Close to nine flights in ten arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 15 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs an hour and a half. That rests on 324 flights, with a median arrival 15 minutes early.
Set against the rest of the country, UA 1207's record is 15 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 151 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 324 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 15 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 UA 1207 flies
UA 1207 flies EWR to JAX without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 06:00, used on 73 of 324 flights, with 07:00 (50 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Scale runs 0% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.
A 06:00 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and UA 1207 runs 3 points better at 92.7%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.
Against the route
UA 1207 next to EWR to JAX

Across the year
UA 1207 quarter by quarter
UA 1207 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 97.6% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 83.3%, a swing of 14 points on roughly 81 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 202586 flights97.6%
- Oct–Dec 202589 flights94.4%
- Jan–Mar 202672 flights83.3%
- Apr–Jun 202677 flights93.5%
Scale runs 75% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, UA 1207 ranged from 88.6% on Tuesday to 98.1% on Friday. With about 46 flights behind each day, a spread of 10 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.
Delay causes
Why UA 1207 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 50% of the 2,200 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.
- 50%Late-arriving aircraft
- 33%Carrier
- 15%National Airspace System
- 1%Extreme weather
50% 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 2,200 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 48 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 2,200 delay minutes reported on UA 1207.
Cancellations sit at 2.16% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.31%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.2% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.
The 820 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 IAH to ELP (3), PBI to EWR (1) and SFO to PWM (1), but none flew often enough under UA 1207 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to EWR to JAX only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 324 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 UA 1207
For a booking, read UA 1207 as 92.7% on time with 2.16% cancelled over 324 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
