These figures cover 363 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 15 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.

Across the year
AS 62 quarter by quarter
AS 62 did not run the same all year. Its best quarter was Jul–Sep 2026 at 96.7% on time and its weakest Jan–Mar 2026 at 77.1%, a swing of 20 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 100.0% on time and worst on Wednesday at 82.7%. Each day rests on about 52 flights, so a gap of 17 points is worth noticing but could still narrow in another year.

The worst days
Worst days for AS 62
The latest arrival of the period was on 10 January 2026, 6 hours 29 minutes behind schedule; most of its delay minutes were filed as a late-arriving aircraft. The same cause led on five of the five worst days.
| Date | Arrived late by | Largest filed cause |
|---|---|---|
| 10 January 2026 | 6 hours 29 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 3 March 2026 | 4 hours 43 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 17 September 2025 | 3 hours 46 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 11 March 2026 | 3 hours 38 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
| 28 February 2026 | 2 hours 56 minutes | Late-arriving aircraft |
Delay causes
Why AS 62 runs late
Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 85% of the 3,134 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 85%Late-arriving aircraft
- 8%National Airspace System
- 4%Carrier
- 4%Extreme weather
85% of delay minutes trace back to a late-arriving aircraft, meaning the plane was already behind before it got here. Across 3,134 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 23 to one. The split is drawn from 3,134 delay minutes reported on AS 62.
Cancellations run at 3.31%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 30 cancelled outright. A cancelled flight is invisible in every on-time figure on this page, so the punctuality numbers above describe only the flights that actually operated.
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 8.3% 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.
The 680 miles between these two airports put this in the middle of the US network, around two and a half to three hours of block time. That is enough cruise to absorb a ten-minute late pushback and not enough to absorb thirty.
AS 62 is not only a KTN to SEA flight. It also flew SIT to KTN (363 flights, 87.1% on time), JNU to SIT (362 flights, 84.5% on time) and ANC to JNU (362 flights, 89.7% 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
Booking AS 62
For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AS 62: 3.31% of its 363 scheduled flights did not operate. A late arrival costs a little over an hour, but a cancellation costs the day, so leave a later option open.
