Kahului to Phoenix

What the Data Says About OGG to PHX

The Kahului to Phoenix corridor (OGG → PHX) covers roughly 2,845 miles and is served by 5 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 4,027 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 91.5% on-time rate with an average delay of 119.4 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,559 flights were recorded on this pairing — 3 cancelled (0.2%) and 1 diverted (0.1%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 5 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 4,027 total flights analyzed, the 91.5% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 119.4-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, Sep 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 100% on-time, while Jan 2025 came in at 73% on-time — a 27-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the OGG to PHX route, the combination of a 91.5% on-time rate, 119.4-minute average delay, 0.2% recent cancellation rate, and 5 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
