Space-A Scout › Routes › Naval Station Norfolk to NAS Jacksonville
In the year ending November 2026, 30 Space-A flights went from Naval Station Norfolk to NAS Jacksonville. That is every week or two, and roughly 12 percent of Naval Station Norfolk's recorded departures. On the 20 of those where the terminal reported who made the cut, Category VI travelers, the retirees and veterans at the back of the line, got a seat 90 percent of the time.
By raw volume, March and January saw the most departures on this route in the year ending November 2026, and July the fewest. The route was active in 12 of the 13 months on record.
Saturday is the day to watch: 9 of the 30 roll calls for this route, 30 percent, fell on a Saturday.
Category VI is the last group called at roll call. On this route, 90 percent of the 20 reported flights still had room by the time Cat VI was called. Those are good odds by any standard.
The lowest category that made each reported flight, in the year ending November 2026:
| Category III | 2 flights |
| Category VI | 18 flights |
Seats are the other half of the picture. On the 27 flights that reported both numbers, the terminal released an average of 57 seats and 1 were taken, so a typical flight on this route left with about 56 Space-A seats empty. That is a lot of room, and it is why the Category VI number above is as good as it is.
A schedule on the 72-hour board is a plan, not a promise, and on this route the record says how much of a plan. Of the 10 flights posted to Naval Station Norfolk's board for NAS Jacksonville in the last 120 days, 1 (10 percent) disappeared from the board more than twelve hours before they were due to fly, 4 (40 percent) changed their roll-call time after first posting, and 2 (20 percent) changed their seat count. Normal turbulence for Space-A. Check the board the night before and again the morning of.
