The latest arrival of the period was on 30 June 2026, 5 hours 9 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. Three of the five worst days fell in June 2026.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 30 June 2026 | 5 hours 9 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 1 June 2026 | 4 hours 47 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |

Delay causes
Why UA 2076 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 58% of the 5,278 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 58%Late-arriving aircraft
- 22%Carrier
- 18%National Airspace System
- 2%Extreme weather
58% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 5,278 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 28 to one. The split is drawn from 5,278 delay minutes reported on UA 2076.
Cancellations are rare at 0.68%, below the national 1.89% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Roughly one flight in 100 is called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
10.7% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% nationally. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum for a connection here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
The 680 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.
The same number turns up on five other city pairs in the data, including SFO to DEN (161), SAN to SFO (37) and PDX to DEN (23), but none flew often enough under UA 2076 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DEN to MSP only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 292 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 2076
For a booking, read UA 2076 as 74.4% on time with 0.68% cancelled over 292 flights. Those are rates from the past twelve months, not a forecast for any particular day.
