Because the same number has served different journeys, the statistics above describe only the route DL1458 currently operates. Blending them would produce an average of two different flights.
Why DL1458 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
crew, maintenance, boarding, fuelling — within the carrier’s control

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 1,023 records of DL1458 operating ATL → PBI, published by the US DOT Bureau of Transportation Statistics. A flight counts as delayed when it arrives 15 or more minutes after schedule. Cancelled and diverted flights are excluded from the on-time rate and reported separately. Flight numbers are resolved as carrier plus number plus route, because the same number serves different routes over time.
