Santa Rosa to Burbank

What the Data Says About STS to BUR

The Santa Rosa to Burbank corridor (STS → BUR) covers roughly 387 miles and is served by 1 carrier, based on Bureau of Transportation Statistics reporting. Across 559 flights in the dataset, this route posts a 81.2% on-time rate with an average delay of 54.7 minutes when flights run late. Over the most recent 24 months of BTS data, 559 flights were recorded on this pairing — 18 cancelled (3.2%) and 2 diverted (0.4%). 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 559 total flights analyzed, the 81.2% on-time figure is statistically meaningful rather than a small-sample fluke. The 54.7-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, Dec 2025 posted the best performance on this corridor at 81% on-time, while Nov 2025 came in at 73% on-time — a 8-point gap between best and worst recent month. For travelers evaluating the STS to BUR route, the combination of a 81.2% on-time rate, 54.7-minute average delay, 3.2% recent cancellation rate, and 1 available carrier is the concrete summary of what BTS data shows about reliability on this pairing.
