These figures cover 324 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 6 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 792 flies
UA 792 flies OMA to DEN without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 09:05, used on 111 of 324 flights, with 09:00 (58 flights) and 09:15 (42 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 09:05 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and UA 792 runs 9 points worse at 74.8%. 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 792 quarter by quarter
UA 792 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2025 at 81.3% on time and its weakest Apr–Jun 2026 at 63.3%, a swing of 18 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.

Scale runs 55% to 85%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
By weekday, UA 792 ranged from 68.1% on Wednesday to 79.1% on Saturday. With about 46 flights behind each day, a spread of 11 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.
Delay causes
Why UA 792 runs late
One category carries most of the weight here. National Airspace System accounts for 49% of the 4,450 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.
- 49%National Airspace System
- 39%Carrier
- 8%Late-arriving aircraft
- 4%Extreme weather
49% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 2,191 minutes out of 4,450, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 4,450 delay minutes reported on UA 792.
Cancellations sit at 0.93% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 0.00%.
Connections and routes
What a delay on this flight costs
7.8% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last about 55 minutes, which a normal layover absorbs.
The same number turns up on two other city pairs in the data, including DEN to ELP (62) and IAD to DEN (6), but none flew often enough under UA 792 to report a rate for. Carriers move flight numbers between routes, so the figures on this page apply to OMA to DEN 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.
