These figures cover 123 flights between September 2025 and August 2026. The median arrival is 14 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.

Carrier by carrier
Hawaiian against every carrier on OAK to OGG
Hawaiian flew 123 of the 731 flights on OAK to OGG, about 17% of it. Its 96.6% on time is 12 points better than the route as a whole, which runs 84.7%. Ranked by on-time rate it is first of three carriers on the route, where the range runs from Hawaiian at 96.6% to Southwest at 73.9%. One of those carriers flew fewer than 365 flights here, so treat their positions as rough.
Only one carrier clears this site's 365-flight floor here, so there is no comparison to draw. The table below is the full picture.

Departure window
When Hawaiian runs best on this route
Departure time is the single lever a traveller controls, and it moves the odds more than most people expect. Each bar below is the on-time rate for flights scheduled to leave inside that window, across 123 flights.
There are not enough flights in each departure window to split Hawaiian's OAK to OGG record by time of day without the percentages moving on noise. The headline rate of 96.6% is the reliable figure here.

Delay causes
Why Hawaiian runs late on this route
Carrier accounts for 100% of the 123 delay minutes carriers reported here, and the remaining four split what is left.
- 100%Carrier
The largest share of delay minutes, 100%, falls under carrier control: crew scheduling, maintenance, fuelling, baggage. It accounts for 123 of the 123 delay minutes reported here. The split is drawn from 123 reported delay minutes.
Cancellations run at 4.07%, against 1.89% nationally. That is about one flight in 25 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 stage length
What a delay here costs
At 2,348 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.
The return leg is a different operation and performs like one: it runs 73.3% on time across 122 flights, 23 points below this direction. Departure banks, aircraft rotations and the congestion at each end all differ, so scoring the two directions together would average away a real 23 points of difference.
One caution: this is a thin sample. 123 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 Hawaiian on OAK to OGG
Put together: the delay figures matter less here than the 4.07% cancellation rate. A late arrival costs you about 30 minutes; a cancelled flight costs you the day. Book the 5am–8am departure so there is still a schedule behind you if it goes wrong, and treat a same-day connection as optimistic. 118 completed flights over 12 months sit behind that.
