JAC delay-share reading

The standout signal at Jackson, WY is the delay mix: Late Aircraft owns 39.1% of 687,029 delay minutes across 64,902 BTS flights. The on-time headline is 80.7% (1.7 pts above the 79% national average), with 12,496 delayed and 616 cancelled (0.95%).

Delay minutes concentrate in Late Aircraft (39.1% late-aircraft, 33.7% carrier, 18.3% NAS, 8.8% weather, 0.1% security). Mid-volume books still show a clear delay fingerprint rather than a weather-only story.

Using JAC's data

JAC's on-time book sits in the slower half of the BTS set; check the delay mix and the worst month before treating the headline as typical.

  • Check the busiest route from JAC before you book a connection. See top routes
  • Travel in November rather than January if your dates are flexible. Seasonal patterns
  • Build extra connection buffer when taxi-out spikes. February 2025 averaged 29.9 min. Taxi times

On-time rate reflects the BTS historical average across all reporting carriers at this airport, not any single flight or airline.
