Kahului to San Jose

What the Data Says About OGG to SJC

The Kahului to San Jose corridor (OGG → SJC) covers roughly 2,355 miles and is served by 9 carriers, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 5,181 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 82.9% on-time rate with an average delay of 59.2 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 1,103 flights were recorded on this pairing — 8 cancelled (0.7%) and 0 diverted (0.0%). 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 5,181 total flights analyzed, the 82.9% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 59.2-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, Mar 2024 posted the best performance on this corridor at 94% on-time, while Jul 2025 came in at 81% on-time — a 13-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the OGG to SJC route, the combination of a 82.9% on-time rate, 59.2-minute average delay, 0.7% recent cancellation rate, and 9 available carriers is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
