Anchorage to Kodiak

What the Data Says About ANC to ADQ

The Anchorage to Kodiak corridor (ANC → ADQ) covers roughly 253 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 4,783 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 86.3% on-time rate with an average delay of 59.5 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,680 flights were recorded on this pairing — 62 cancelled (3.7%) and 4 diverted (0.2%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 1 carrier on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 4,783 total flights analyzed, the 86.3% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 59.5-minute average delay applies only to flights that actually ran late, so it is not the average wait across all departures — the majority of flights on this route depart on time under the BTS definition of a delay (15+ minutes past schedule).

Looking at recent months, Feb 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 95% on-time, while Jan 2024 came in at 77% on-time — a 17-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the ANC to ADQ route, the combination of a 86.3% on-time rate, 59.5-minute average delay, 3.7% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
