OAK Oakland

How deep the OAK board really is

The table above says where a courier can fly from OAK. This reads the same 89 destinations back for the questions a dispatcher asks second: how much of the board rests on one airline, how much of it runs less than daily, whether the return leg is as thick as the outbound and what the clock here does to a Gulf working day, all of it computed on 2026-09-07 from AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics.

• 51of the 89 destinations are flown by one airline
• 57destinations run less than once a day
• 12destinations have four or more departures a day
• 27%of the destinations name NetJets Aviation, the largest presence here

Who holds the departures at OAK

52 airlines appear on the OAK board and they do not hold it evenly. NetJets Aviation is on 24 of the 89 destinations, 27 per cent of them, and on 5 of those it is the only airline flying the sector. The destinations it appears on carry 62.3 of the 149.8 departures a day this airport files, though other airlines fly some of the same sectors, so read that as reach rather than as a share of the aircraft.

The next largest presence is Southwest Airlines on 24 destinations. 26 of the 52 airlines at OAK appear on a single destination each, which is the long tail every airport carries, and none of it is a rebooking option when the sector you need is the one that fell over.

That is a middling concentration at OAK: one airline on 27 per cent of the destinations and the other 73 per cent spread across 51 airlines. A cancellation inside the NetJets Aviation network is often survivable inside the same booking, but on the 65 destinations NetJets Aviation does not touch, a rebooking means moving to a carrier the desk has to check for a through fare first.

How much of the OAK board is daily

Of the 89 destinations, 32 are flown at least once a day and 57 are not, 28 of them running once a week or less. The median destination on the OAK board is flown 3 times a week.

An average of 0.14 flights a day is the schedule statistic, and it is worth translating it before anything is promised to anybody: OAK to West Palm Beach (PBI) is about one a week, so a missed departure there is not a delay of hours, it is the next slot.

The five busiest destinations carry 58.4 of the 149.8 departures a day, 39 per cent of the whole board. With 64 per cent of the 89 destinations running less than daily, this is a board that rewards booking the outbound before the collection is confirmed rather than after.

The ten destinations out of OAK where one airline holds the sector and files fewer than seven departures a week, with the weekly figure taken as the average daily rate multiplied by seven rather than as a fixed timetable. 33 further destinations sit in the same position and are listed in the board above.

The way back from OAK

The desk holds the return direction for 24 of the 89 destinations, and a courier plans the way back on those figures rather than on the outbound. On three of them the return into OAK runs thinner than the outbound by more than a quarter. The widest gaps are San Francisco (SFO) at 1.4 out a day against 0.43 back, Omaha (OMA) at 0.29 out a day against 0.14 back and Kahului (OGG) at 2.7 out a day against 2 back.

It runs the other way as well: San Jose (SJC) files 2.6 a day back into OAK against 1.6 outbound, which is the shape that strands a courier at this end rather than at the far end.

The clock at OAK

OAK keeps America/Los_Angeles time, eleven hours behind Dubai in summer and twelve hours behind in winter, because the clock here moves and the Gulf clock does not.

When it is 09:00 on a Dubai working morning it is 22:00 at OAK, and a nine to six day at each end does not overlap at all, so an instruction written in Dubai is read here on the following working day unless somebody is woken up.

Where OAK turns up on the rest of this site

The airport also sits behind the United States country desk, which sets out the customs practice, the working week and the road legs behind this airport.

The site publishes 10 airport pair pages that start or end at OAK, each with the distance, the block time, the carriers on the sector and a door to door clock. The busiest are Oakland to Las Vegas (LAS), Oakland to San Diego (SAN) and Oakland to Seattle (SEA).

22 courier postings name OAK as the airport a courier here flies from: Sacramento, Stockton and Fremont.

To price a movement rather than read the board, the route calculator opens with OAK already set as the origin, and it works out the flying time, the distance and the delivery hour for any of the 89 destinations above.
