Space-A Scout › Routes › Travis AFB to Kadena AB
Travis AFB sent 51 recorded Space-A flights to Kadena AB in the year ending October 2026, about once a week and about 9 percent of everything the terminal flew. On the 51 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 96 percent of the time.
By raw volume, July and January saw the most departures on this route in the year ending October 2026, and November the fewest. The route was active in 11 of the 13 months on record.
Wednesday is the day to watch: 15 of the 51 roll calls for this route, 29 percent, fell on a Wednesday.
Category VI is the last group called at roll call. On this route, 96 percent of the 51 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 October 2026:
| Category III | 1 flight |
| Category IV | 1 flight |
| Category VI | 49 flights |
Seats are the other half of the picture. On the 51 flights that reported both numbers, the terminal released an average of 59 seats and 21 were taken, so a typical flight on this route left with about 38 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 20 flights posted to Travis AFB's board for Kadena AB in the last 120 days, 2 (10 percent) disappeared from the board more than twelve hours before they were due to fly, 5 (25 percent) changed their roll-call time after first posting, and 7 (35 percent) changed their seat count. Normal turbulence for Space-A. Check the board the night before and again the morning of.
