Historical statistics for July 2025 to June 2026, not live status. For today’s AS 69, check with Alaska Airlines.

AS 69 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 9 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 362 flights, with a median arrival 15 minutes early.

Set against the rest of the country, AS 69's record is 9 points better than the US average of 77.6%. That gap is worth roughly 87 fewer late arrivals for every thousand flights.

These figures cover 362 flights between July 2025 and June 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.

Schedule

When AS 69 flies

AS 69 is scheduled to leave Ketchikan (KTN) at 20:29 local time and reach Juneau (JNU) at 21:34. That slot held for 319 of the 362 scheduled departures in the data, so the figures below describe one steady operation rather than a number that moved around the clock.

Scale runs 0% to 100%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

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

A 20:29 departure sits in the 8pm–5am window. Across every US flight scheduled in that window the on-time rate is 70.5%, and AS 69 runs 16 points better at 86.3%. By that time of day most aircraft have flown several legs already, and whatever went wrong earlier is still in the schedule.

Across the year

AS 69 quarter by quarter

Quarter by quarter AS 69 held fairly steady: 87.9% in Jul–Sep 2025, 83.7% in Oct–Dec 2025, 81.9% in Jan–Mar 2026 and 91.1% in Apr–Jun 2026. A spread of 9 points is about what a sample of this size moves on its own, so the annual figure is a fair summary.

Scale runs 75% to 95%. Rows with fewer than 30 flights show a dash.

By weekday, AS 69 did best on Monday at 94.1% on time and worst on Friday at 76.0%. 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 69 runs late

One category carries most of the weight here. Late-arriving aircraft accounts for 82% of the 3,663 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.

Extreme weather

82% 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 3,663 reported delay minutes here, that single category outweighs weather by 82 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 3,663 delay minutes reported on AS 69.

Cancellations run at 3.04%, against 1.81% nationally. That is roughly 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

6.6% of arrivals land an hour or more late, close to the national 8.1%. That is the figure that decides a connection, and it says a 60 to 75 minute layover is reasonable here while anything under 45 minutes is a bet. Most delays on this route last a little over an hour, which a normal layover absorbs.

AS 69 is not only a KTN to JNU flight. It also flew SEA to KTN (362 flights, 81.2% 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. 362 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 69

For a booking, the cancellation rate is the figure to plan around on AS 69: 3.04% of its 362 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.
