Ogdensburg to Washington

What the Data Says About OGS to IAD

The Ogdensburg to Washington corridor (OGS → IAD) covers roughly 409 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 949 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 83.6% on-time rate with an average delay of 141.9 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 949 flights were recorded on this pairing — 51 cancelled (5.4%) and 3 diverted (0.3%). Those baseline metrics tell you what to expect before you book.

Having 1 carrier on the route matters: more carriers generally means more daily schedule options, competitive pricing, and redundancy when flights are cancelled. With 949 total flights analyzed, the 83.6% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 141.9-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, May 2021 posted the best performance on this corridor at 93% on-time, while Dec 2021 came in at 71% on-time — a 22-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the OGS to IAD route, the combination of a 83.6% on-time rate, 141.9-minute average delay, 5.4% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
