Hawaiian Airlines - BTS Delay Tier Breakdown

How Hawaiian Airlines flights distribute across federal Bureau of Transportation Statistics arrival-delay tiers. The on-time band uses the BTS 15-minute threshold; longer-delay tiers reflect arrival-time bins reported in the underlying database.

HA delay-share reading

Across 414,402 BTS-reported flights (2020–2025), Hawaiian Airlines posts 83.1% on-time, 4.1 points above the 79% national flight-weighted average, with 70,143 delayed arrivals and 5,623 cancellations (1.36% of the book). When a flight runs late, the average delay is 57.0 minutes.

Delay minutes concentrate in Carrier (35.7% late-aircraft, 57.6% carrier, 3.0% NAS, 3.2% weather, 0.4% security across 3,335,378 total delay minutes). That mix is this carrier’s fingerprint, not a fleet-wide template sentence.

On the multi-year calendar, HA is strongest in September (89.5% on-time on about 5,567 flights per month) and weakest in December (78.0%). The 11.5-point seasonal swing is why the dispatch plate stamps a season code for this airline alone.
