These figures cover 340 flights between September 2025 and August 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.

Delay causes
Why UA 2612 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 46% of the 6,134 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 46%Late-arriving aircraft
- 37%National Airspace System
- 15%Carrier
- 2%Extreme weather
46% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 6,134 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 18 to one. The split is drawn from 6,134 delay minutes reported on UA 2612.
Cancellations run at 2.65%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 40 cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
7.9% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.3%, so a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last an hour and a half, which a normal layover absorbs.
The 1,034 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 three other city pairs in the data, including EWR to MIA (154), EWR to JAC (82) and EWR to DEN (37), but none flew often enough under UA 2612 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to SRQ to EWR only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 340 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 2612
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on UA 2612: 2.65% of its 340 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs an hour and a half, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
