What stands out
How DL2674 compares to other flight numbers, not just to itself.
This flight stays close to typical even on its worst days, a smaller gap than 99% of 11,788 comparable flight numbers.
A typical arrival is 11 min early, and the worst tenth are only 13 minutes worse than that.

Why DL2674 runs late
Where US DOT attributed the delay minutes on this flight.
crew, maintenance, boarding and fueling, all within the carrier’s control
the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late
airspace and airport capacity, including weather-driven flow control
weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically
Share of the delay minutes US DOT attributed to each cause for DL2674 on LAS → SLC. Only delays of 15 minutes or more are attributed.

Does a late aircraft delay this flight?
How often the plane that flies DL2674 comes in late, and what that does to the departure.
DL2674 is usually the aircraft’s first flight of the day: the schedule gives it a median of 6.9 hours on the ground at LAS, so its “inbound” is mostly the aircraft’s arrival the evening before.
When the aircraft came in 15 or more minutes late, DL2674 pushed back an average of 4 minutes late; when it came in on time or early, an average of 3 minutes early.
Each departure is matched to the flight the same aircraft flew into LAS just before it, using the tail number in the DOT file, 930 of 1,031 departures in all. A departure is left out when that flight is unknown, was cancelled or diverted, or the aircraft had sat for more than 12 hours. A flight the airline cancelled never left and is not in the count, and one flown by a substitute aircraft is matched to the aircraft that flew it, not to the one first planned.
Against the network at the same turn length
| Share of departures | Inbound landed 15+ late | Left 15+ late after a late inbound | Left 15+ late after an on-time inbound |
|---|---|---|---|
| DL2674 | 25% | 8% | 3% |
| Network, same turn | 29% | 12% | 9% |
A night on the ground absorbs most of a late arrival, so a late inbound matters far less on a turn this long than on a same-day one.
The network row is every flight with a scheduled turn of 6 hours or more, usually overnight. How often DL2674’s aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late is lower than the network’s and, once the aircraft was late, how often DL2674 left 15 or more minutes late is lower than the network’s.

From pushback to gate
When it leaves LAS late, does that still matter by the time it reaches SLC?
DL2674 pushes back an average of 1.7 minutes late and reaches the gate at SLC an average of 5.4 minutes early. The 7.1 minutes between those two figures are slack the published schedule already carries, which is why a late pushback on this flight does not reliably become a late arrival. It spends 15.9 minutes on the taxiways at LAS, 1.1 minutes shorter than a typical LAS departure in the same hour.
On arrival at SLC, DL2674 spends 6.6 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 SLC spends on the ground before reaching the gate.
Departure delay is averaged over every pushback and arrival delay over every completed arrival, so the two counts differ by the flights that never reached SLC. Taxi-out is gate to wheels up and sits inside the scheduled block rather than on top of it; the comparison is 39,848 departures from LAS scheduled in the clock hour DL2674 most often leaves in. Taxi-in is landing to gate, compared against every arrival FlyerIntel has on file at SLC (355,118 flights), not just DL2674’s own. More on taxi time.

The hour it leaves LAS
Part of any flight’s record belongs to the clock rather than to the flight. DL2674 has one departure time, so this is what that time is worth.
On-time arrival rate. 39,848 departures from LAS are scheduled in the 6 AM–7 AM hour over the period, against 569,617 across the whole day.
DL2674 is scheduled out of LAS at 6:00 AM, in the 6 AM–7 AM bank. Departures from LAS in that hour arrive on time 93.3% of the time against 78.0% across the airport’s whole day — the slot alone is worth 15.3 points better before anything about this particular flight is considered.
The two airport figures cover every departure from LAS to every destination, so they describe the slot rather than this journey — the like-for-like comparison against the route is above. Hours are scheduled local, and a number whose schedule moved between banks inside the period has no single hour and is not described here at all. Why the hour matters.

By day of week
Does DL2674 run worse on particular days?
Tuesday is historically the most reliable day and Monday the least, a gap of 6.9 percentage points.

Other routes DL2674 has flown
A flight number is a slot in a schedule, and carriers reassign it. These are the other city pairs this number served in the analysis period.
Because the same number has served different journeys, the statistics above describe only the route DL2674 currently operates. Blending them would produce an average of two different flights.

Other flights on this route
Same airports, same journey, different odds of arriving on time.
| Flight | Airline | On time | Median arrival | Operations |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DL2674 this flight | Delta Air Lines | 96.0% | 11 min early | 1,037 |

Every departure listed carries at least 600 operations, so the comparison is between figures that mean something. DL2674 is placed in the same ordering rather than left out of it; the rows around it are the most punctual departures on the route, not all of them, so this is a comparison and not a rank. Schedules change; confirm the departure still operates before booking around this.
Data and methodology
Calculated by FlyerIntel from 1,037 records of DL2674 operating LAS → SLC, 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.
