Burbank to Santa Rosa

What the Data Says About BUR to STS

The Burbank to Santa Rosa corridor (BUR → STS) covers roughly 387 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 559 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 85.7% on-time rate with an average delay of 60.8 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 559 flights were recorded on this pairing — 19 cancelled (3.4%) and 6 diverted (1.1%). 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 559 total flights analyzed, the 85.7% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 60.8-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 83% on-time, while Dec 2025 came in at 79% on-time — a 4-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the BUR to STS route, the combination of a 85.7% on-time rate, 60.8-minute average delay, 3.4% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
