What the Data Says About JFK to BQN

The New York to Aguadilla corridor (JFK → BQN) covers roughly 1,576 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 2,816 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 65.3% on-time rate with an average delay of 70.0 minutes when flights run late.

Having 1 carrier on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 2,816 total flights analyzed, the 65.3% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 70.0-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, May 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 83% on-time, while Aug 2024 came in at 47% on-time — a 37-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the JFK to BQN route, the combination of a 65.3% on-time rate, 70.0-minute average delay, 1.7% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
