Jacksonville/Camp Lejeune to Atlanta

What the Data Says About OAJ to ATL

The Jacksonville/Camp Lejeune to Atlanta corridor (OAJ → ATL) covers roughly 399 miles and is served by 7 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 4,859 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 91.6% on-time rate with an average delay of 107.8 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,582 flights were recorded on this pairing — 6 cancelled (0.4%) and 1 diverted (0.1%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 7 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 4,859 total flights analyzed, the 91.6% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 107.8-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, Oct 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 99% on-time, while Mar 2023 came in at 81% on-time — a 18-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the OAJ to ATL route, the combination of a 91.6% on-time rate, 107.8-minute average delay, 0.4% recent cancellation rate, and 7 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
