How DL2033 performs
617 operations, June 2024 – August 2026.
Between its first and last recorded date on SLC → EWR, DL2033 averaged about 5 operations a week (617 in 816 days, cancelled ones included).
DL2033 arrived on time 71.6% of the time, against 76.1% for all SLC → EWR flights, so this departure is 4.5 percentage points worse than the route as a whole. Against Delta Air Lines’ own flights on this route it is 4.3 points worse.
DL2033’s scheduled departure has moved during the period FlyerIntel has on file: it typically left around 11:15 AM earlier on, and around 10:30 AM more recently — a 45-minute shift, not the few minutes of day-to-day rounding every published schedule carries. Confirm the current departure time before booking around an older listing.

Against the rest of the route
| Flight or route | On time | Cancelled | Median delay | Severe | Flights |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DL2033 | 71.6% | 2.43% | -2 min | 10.3% | 617 |
| Delta Air Lines on SLC → EWR | 75.9% | 1.82% | -3 min | 7.2% | 2,251 |
| All SLC → EWR flights | 76.1% | 1.76% | -5 min | 8.1% | 4,039 |
DL2033 cancelled 15 of 617 operations (2.43%), above the 1.76% for SLC → EWR.
10.3% of DL2033’s arrivals were an hour or more late, against 8.1% across SLC → EWR, so the long delays are more common on this number than on the route.

Why DL2033 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
crew, maintenance, boarding and fueling, all within the carrier’s control
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies DL2033 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
The aircraft flying DL2033 came in 15 or more minutes late on 13% of the departures where its previous flight is known. There are not enough departures in both groups to say how the flight left after a late one and after an on-time one.
Matched by tail number to the aircraft’s previous flight into SLC: 568 of 602 departures. Unknown, cancelled or diverted inbounds and gaps over 12 hours are left out.
Against the network at the same turn length
| Share of departures | Inbound landed 15+ late |
|---|---|
| DL2033 | 13% |
| Network, same turn | 17% |
71 scheduled minutes is enough to clean and board when the aircraft is on time, with little to spare when it is not.
The network row is every flight with a scheduled turn of 60 to 89 minutes. How often DL2033’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is lower than the network’s. There are not enough departures in both groups to compare how it left.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves SLC late, does that still matter by the time it reaches EWR?
DL2033 pushes back an average of 18.1 minutes late and reaches the gate at EWR an average of 12.8 minutes late. The 5.3 minutes between those two figures are slack the published schedule already carries, so a late pushback is partly, not fully, made up before the gate. Its 18.9 minutes on the taxiways at SLC is about what any departure from the airport in that hour spends.
On arrival at EWR, DL2033 spends 9.8 min taxiing from touchdown to the gate — ground time a connecting passenger sits through before they can even leave the aircraft, on top of however late the flight itself ran. That is about what any arrival at EWR spends on the ground before reaching the gate.
Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block; the hourly comparison is 45,324 SLC departures. Taxi-in is landing to gate, set against 397,792 arrivals at EWR. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves SLC
DL2033 has one departure time, 11:15 AM, so this is what that hour at SLC is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 45,324 departures from SLC are scheduled in the 11 AM–12 PM hour over the period, against 365,355 across the whole day.
DL2033 is scheduled out of SLC at 11:15 AM, in the 11 AM–12 PM bank. Departures from SLC in that hour arrive on time 85.4% of the time against 83.9% across the airport’s whole day, so the hour DL2033 leaves in is an ordinary one for SLC and explains nothing about its record either way.
Both airport figures cover every destination from SLC, so they describe the slot, not this journey; the route comparison is above. Why the hour matters.

When it goes wrong
The average describes a usual day. This is the day that ruins a connection.
60 min late
against a median of 2 min early
DL2033 has an average that understates its risk: a typical arrival is 2 min early, but the worst tenth are 62 minutes worse than that. If the trip has something unmissable at the end of it, the median is the wrong number to plan against.

Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 617 records of DL2033 operating SLC → EWR, 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 reported separately, not in the on-time rate.
