Aspen to Los Angeles

What the Data Says About ASE to LAX

The Aspen to Los Angeles corridor (ASE → LAX) covers roughly 737 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 5,510 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 75.1% on-time rate with an average delay of 107.2 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,399 flights were recorded on this pairing — 146 cancelled (6.1%) and 7 diverted (0.3%). 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 5,510 total flights analyzed, the 75.1% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 107.2-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, Nov 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 92% on-time, while Dec 2024 came in at 61% on-time — a 31-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the ASE to LAX route, the combination of a 75.1% on-time rate, 107.2-minute average delay, 6.1% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
