These figures cover 258 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 UA 2232 flies

UA 2232 flies ORD to MSP without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 07:15, used on 59 of 258 flights, with 07:25 (44 flights) and 08:50 (36 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 07:15 departure sits in the 5am–8am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 89.3%, and UA 2232 runs level with that at 89.9%. 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

UA 2232 quarter by quarter

UA 2232 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 94.4% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 81.7%, a swing of 13 points on roughly 65 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 202553 flights92.5%
Oct–Dec 202572 flights90.3%
Jan–Mar 202660 flights81.7%

Scale runs 75% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, UA 2232 did best on Thursday at 95.3% on time and worst on Tuesday at 82.9%. Each day rests on about 37 flights, so a gap of 12 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why UA 2232 runs late

Carriers report a reason for every delay minute they cause, in five DOT categories. The split below is by minutes, not by number of flights, so a handful of very long weather delays weighs as much as many short ones. It covers 1,290 reported delay minutes.

National Airspace System
33%
Carrier
28%
Late-arriving aircraft
25%
Extreme weather
14%

Extreme weather accounts for 14% 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 2.3 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 1,290 delay minutes reported on UA 2232.

Cancellations are rare at 0.39%, below the national 1.81% 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

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 2.3% 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 same number turns up on eight other city pairs in the data, including MSP to DEN (56), DAY to ORD (36) and EWR to RSW (31), but none flew often enough under UA 2232 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to ORD to MSP only.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 258 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 2232

For a booking, UA 2232 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 89.9% on time and 0.39% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
