Las Vegas to Burbank

What the Data Says About LAS to BUR

The Las Vegas to Burbank corridor (LAS → BUR) covers roughly 223 miles and is served by 8 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 22,470 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 78.4% on-time rate with an average delay of 57.3 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 8,821 flights were recorded on this pairing — 121 cancelled (1.4%) and 28 diverted (0.3%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 8 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 22,470 total flights analyzed, the 78.4% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 57.3-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 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 89% on-time, while Oct 2025 came in at 73% on-time — a 16-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the LAS to BUR route, the combination of a 78.4% on-time rate, 57.3-minute average delay, 1.4% recent cancellation rate, and 8 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
