Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s UA 2613, check with United Airlines.
UA 2613 sits in the middle of the pack with a C. About seven flights in ten arrive on time by the DOT's definition, 8 points worse than the national rate of 77.6%. The late ones land a little over an hour behind schedule. That rests on 327 flights, with a median arrival 1 minute early.
The national on-time rate over the same period is 77.6%, so UA 2613 runs 8 points behind the country as a whole. Across a thousand flights that is about 83 extra late arrivals.

These figures cover 327 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. Beyond the headline rate, 11.5% 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 UA 2613 flies
UA 2613 flies DEN to EWR without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 17:50, used on 60 of 327 flights, with 17:52 (49 flights) and 17:38 (37 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 17:50 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and UA 2613 runs level with that at 69.3%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year
UA 2613 quarter by quarter
UA 2613 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jan–Mar 2026 at 80.4% on time and its weakest Jul–Sep 2025 at 46.7%, a swing of 34 points on roughly 82 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.

By weekday, UA 2613 did best on Wednesday at 73.3% on time and worst on Thursday at 60.9%. Each day rests on about 47 flights, so a gap of 12 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.
Delay causes
Why UA 2613 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. National Airspace System accounts for 43% of the 7,014 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%National Airspace System
- 37%Late-arriving aircraft
- 20%Carrier
- 0%Extreme weather
37% 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 7,014 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 37 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 7,014 delay minutes reported on UA 2613.
Cancellations sit at 1.22% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.31%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
For anyone connecting, the number to weigh is not the on-time rate but the tail behind it. 11.5% of arrivals land a full hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. A 45-minute layover does not survive that, and no amount of walking quickly changes it. Ninety minutes is the honest minimum here, and two hours if the onward flight is on a separate ticket.
At 1,605 miles this is transcontinental flying, and long routes get a quiet structural advantage. Scheduled block time on a flight this length carries more padding in absolute minutes, so a twenty-minute late departure often still becomes an on-time arrival. Read the on-time rate here as slightly flattering next to a short-haul route with the same operational quality.
The same number turns up on one other city pair in the data, including MCO to IAD (37), but none flew often enough under UA 2613 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to DEN to EWR only.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 327 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.
