These figures cover 939 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 15 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.

Departure window
When SkyWest runs best on this route
Departure time matters more here than the choice of carrier. The gap between the best and worst window is 14 points, against half a point between the best and worst carrier.
- 5am–8am34 flights100.0%
- 8am–11am304 flights92.0%
- 11am–2pm237 flights86.0%
- 2pm–5pm129 flights93.8%
- 5pm–8pm235 flights94.9%
- 8pm–5am—
Scale runs 80% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.
The weak window here is the middle of the day, not the evening: 11am–2pm runs 86.0% on time against 100.0% for 5am–8am. That shape usually means a departure bank rather than an accumulating delay, so the recovery later in the afternoon is real rather than noise. The 8am–11am window is the busiest, with 304 flights scheduled in it.
Across the year
SkyWest on BUR to SLC through the year

Delay causes
Why SkyWest runs late on this route
Carrier accounts for 61% of the 5,794 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 61%Carrier
- 34%Extreme weather
- 5%National Airspace System
Extreme weather accounts for 34% 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 monthly strip above is the more useful view of the risk. The national share is 6%, so this operation carries roughly 5.6 times the usual weather exposure. The split is drawn from 5,794 reported delay minutes.
The largest share of delay minutes, 61%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 3,553 of the 5,794 delay minutes reported here.
Cancellations are rare at 0.53%, 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 stage length
What a delay here costs
Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 3.3% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.3% 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 574 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 return leg runs 90.9% on time across 939 flights, within about a point of this direction. The two legs are scored separately because they usually differ; on this city pair they happen not to.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 939 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 SkyWest on BUR to SLC
Put together: treat all of this as provisional. 939 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor and not enough to be confident to better than a couple of points. The 91.7% headline is the most reliable number on the page; the hour and month splits below it are built on a few dozen flights each. 931 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
