Oakland to Kahului

What the Data Says About OAK to OGG

The Oakland to Kahului corridor (OAK → OGG) covers roughly 2,349 miles and is served by 6 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 5,236 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 84.1% on-time rate with an average delay of 54.9 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,552 flights were recorded on this pairing — 14 cancelled (0.9%) and 2 diverted (0.1%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 6 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 5,236 total flights analyzed, the 84.1% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 54.9-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, Jan 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 100% on-time, while Feb 2024 came in at 61% on-time — a 39-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the OAK to OGG route, the combination of a 84.1% on-time rate, 54.9-minute average delay, 0.9% recent cancellation rate, and 6 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
