Kahului to Los Angeles

What the Data Says About OGG to LAX

The Kahului to Los Angeles corridor (OGG → LAX) covers roughly 2,486 miles and is served by 28 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 15,027 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 85.3% on-time rate with an average delay of 87.2 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 3,819 flights were recorded on this pairing — 24 cancelled (0.6%) and 10 diverted (0.3%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 28 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 15,027 total flights analyzed, the 85.3% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 87.2-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, Aug 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 95% on-time, while Nov 2025 came in at 77% on-time — a 18-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the OGG to LAX route, the combination of a 85.3% on-time rate, 87.2-minute average delay, 0.6% recent cancellation rate, and 28 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
