These figures cover 251 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 11 minutes early, which is the part an average hides: most flights here are fine, and the on-time rate is decided by a tail of badly late ones. On-time means under 15 minutes late, the DOT's own threshold.

Schedule

When AS 193 flies

AS 193 flies LAX to ANC without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 19:45, used on 123 of 251 flights, with 19:59 (37 flights) and 19:55 (31 flights) next. Carriers retime flights through the season, so the rates here blend slightly different positions in the aircraft's day.

Share of scheduled departures at each local time. Times used on fewer than one flight in ten are not listed.

A 19:45 departure sits in the 5pm–8pm window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 68.2%, and AS 193 runs 19 points better at 87.2%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

By weekday, AS 193 ranged from 83.3% on Sunday to 92.7% on Friday. With about 36 flights behind each day, a spread of 9 points is inside normal variation, so the day you fly is not worth changing for this flight.

Delay causes

Why AS 193 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. National Airspace System accounts for 48% of the 1,417 delay minutes carriers reported, and the remaining four split what is left. The split is by minutes rather than by flights, so a few very long delays count for as much as many short ones.

Late-arriving aircraft
32%
Carrier

Security

48% of delay minutes are charged to the National Airspace System: air traffic volume, runway configuration, ground stops. No carrier can price its way out of that, which is why airport choice moves the number here more than carrier choice does. That is 686 minutes out of 1,417, against a national NAS share of 21%. The split is drawn from 1,417 delay minutes reported on AS 193.

Cancellations are rare at 0.00%, below the national 1.81% and low enough to earn the plus on the grade. Almost no flights are called off; the risk here is arriving late, not not arriving.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 2.4% land an hour or more behind schedule, against 8.1% nationally. Connections built on this flight are about as safe as US domestic connections get, though a cancelled flight still ignores every layover you give it.

At 2,345 miles this is transcontinental flying, and long routes get a quiet structural advantage. Scheduled block time on a flight this length carries more padding in absolute minutes, so a twenty-minute late departure often still becomes an on-time arrival. Read the on-time rate here as slightly flattering next to a short-haul route with the same operational quality.

Every one of the 251 flights under AS 193 in the data flew LAX to ANC. The number was not reused on any other city pair, which makes this a clean record of one route.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 251 flights over twelve months is enough to clear this site's floor but not enough to pin the rate down tightly, and a single bad week moves it by more than a point. Treat the grade as a rough reading.

What to do with this

Booking AS 193

For a booking, AS 193 has one of the better records a US domestic flight can show: 87.2% on time and 0.00% cancelled. That is a base rate, not a promise about any single day.
