Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AS 62, check with Alaska Airlines.

AS 62 earns an A. More than four flights in five arrive inside the 15-minute window the DOT uses to define an on-time arrival, which puts it 8 points better than the national rate of 77.6%. When something does go wrong the average delay runs a little over an hour. That rests on 363 flights, with a median arrival 12 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, AS 62's record is 8 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 76 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 363 flights between July 2025 and June 2026. The median arrival is 12 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 62 flies

AS 62 flies SIT to KTN without a single fixed slot. Its most common scheduled departure was 10:57, used on 51 of 363 flights, with 11:00 (45 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 10:57 departure sits in the 8am–11am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 84.1%, and AS 62 runs level with that at 85.2%. Early departures usually start with an aircraft that has not flown yet that day, which is most of why the window does well.

Across the year

AS 62 quarter by quarter

AS 62 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Apr–Jun 2026 at 93.4% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 74.4%, a swing of 19 points on roughly 91 flights a quarter. The twelve-month rate averages over that, so if you are flying in a weak quarter the quarter's own figure is the better guide.

By weekday, AS 62 did best on Thursday at 96.0% on time and worst on Saturday at 77.6%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 18 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

Delay causes

Why AS 62 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 80% of the 3,548 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.

80% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. That is a cascade, and cascades start small and grow through the day. Across 3,548 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 28 to one. It is the strongest argument for booking the first departure of the morning, when the aircraft has been sitting at the gate overnight with nothing to inherit. The split is drawn from 3,548 delay minutes reported on AS 62.

Cancellations sit at 1.38% against a national 1.81%, which is ordinary. Diversions add another 1.93%.

Connections and routes

What a delay on this flight costs

Badly late arrivals are rare here: only 4.8% 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.

AS 62 is not only a SIT to KTN flight. It also flew KTN to SEA (363 flights, 86.1% on time), ANC to JNU (362 flights, 89.1% on time) and JNU to SIT (362 flights, 84.2% on time) often enough to be scored on its own. Airlines attach one number to several legs of an aircraft's day, and each leg keeps its own record here, so check which city pair is on your booking before reading a rate.

One caution: this is a thin sample. 363 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
