What the Data Says About OGG to SFO

The Kahului to San Francisco corridor (OGG → SFO) covers roughly 2,338 miles and is served by 9 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 9,400 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 85.6% on-time rate with an average delay of 75.2 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 2,971 flights were recorded on this pairing — 25 cancelled (0.8%) and 3 diverted (0.1%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 9 carriers on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 9,400 total flights analyzed, the 85.6% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 75.2-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, Apr 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 98% on-time, while Apr 2024 came in at 80% on-time — a 18-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the OGG to SFO route, the combination of a 85.6% on-time rate, 75.2-minute average delay, 0.8% recent cancellation rate, and 9 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
