Hawaiian Airlines Delay and Cancellation Rates
Hawaiian Airlines was fully integrated into Alaska Airlines in April 2026. Former Hawaiian routes now operate as Alaska flights, and DelayGuard models them under Alaska. The figures below are Hawaiian's BTS record through December 2025.
Hawaiian Airlines (HA) flights arrived 15 or more minutes late 18.9% of the time across 236,810 flights, January 2023 to December 2025 (BTS). That is number 2 of 10 among the mainline carriers in DelayGuard's BTS data (1 is the lowest delay rate), against 21.2% for all reporting carriers. 0.93% of 158,614 scheduled flights were cancelled in 2024 to 2025, against 1.41% overall.
These figures are historical US domestic rates, not a forecast for one departure. Use the AI delay predictor before you book.
Delay window: January 2023 to December 2025. Cancellation window: 2024 to 2025. Last updated: 2026-10-18. Delayed means a flight arrived 15 or more minutes after its scheduled arrival, the BTS and DOT on-time standard. Cancelled and diverted flights are excluded from delay rates. Historical BTS figures are separate from DelayGuard's per-flight model probability and from live FAA, weather and ground-delay status.

What shapes Hawaiian Airlines' record
Hawaiian's record changes sharply by airport. Its flights from KOA ran 15.2% late, against 24.0% from Los Angeles (LAX) (airports with at least 5,000 Hawaiian departures).
Delays peak in April (25.1%) and are lowest in September (10.7%).
BTS reports each flight under the carrier that operated it. Flights flown by regional partners such as SkyWest, Republic, Envoy, PSA and Endeavor are reported under those operators, so this is the record of Hawaiian's own aircraft and crews.
