Aspen to Atlanta

What the Data Says About ASE to ATL

The Aspen to Atlanta corridor (ASE → ATL) covers roughly 1,304 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 1,199 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 63.6% on-time rate with an average delay of 107.1 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,014 flights were recorded on this pairing — 60 cancelled (5.9%) and 20 diverted (2.0%). 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 1,199 total flights analyzed, the 63.6% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 107.1-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, Mar 2023 posted the best performance on this corridor at 77% on-time, while Feb 2025 came in at 45% on-time — a 33-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the ASE to ATL route, the combination of a 63.6% on-time rate, 107.1-minute average delay, 5.9% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
