The standout signal at Dillingham, AK is traffic scale: 2,866 BTS flights (2020–2025) place it #353 of 382 by book size.

Delay minutes concentrate in Late Aircraft (41.8% late-aircraft, 24.8% carrier, 15.5% NAS, 5.9% weather, 11.9% security). As a quieter airport, a single late inbound can swing the month more than at a mega-hub.
