What the Data Says About OGG to OAK

The Kahului to Oakland corridor (OGG → OAK) covers roughly 2,349 miles and is served by 6 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 5,228 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 84.7% on-time rate with an average delay of 57.6 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,548 flights were recorded on this pairing — 10 cancelled (0.6%) and 0 diverted (0.0%). 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 5,228 total flights analyzed, the 84.7% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 57.6-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 98% on-time, while Dec 2025 came in at 77% on-time — a 21-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the OGG to OAK route, the combination of a 84.7% on-time rate, 57.6-minute average delay, 0.6% recent cancellation rate, and 6 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
