What the long-run records say about flying here, computed for this airport alone.
The FAA issued no ground stop or ground delay program for ACY in the 12 months to October 2026. Delays here come from the airlines or from programs at other airports rather than from ACY's own airspace.
KACY reported VFR in 81% of daylight observations over 20 years, about 268 flyable days a year. August is the most reliable month and May the least, with IFR or worse 16% of the time. When conditions drop it is usually low ceilings rather than fog (ceilings under 1,000 ft 9% of hours, visibility under 3 miles 5%).
Over 20 years of hourly winds, runway 31 had the best headwind 36% of the time, runway 22 32%, and winds were calm 16% of hours. Winds most often blow from the south. Crosswind on the best available runway topped 15 kt in under 1% of hours.
Snow fell on about 15 days a year and freezing rain or drizzle on 2. From December to February KACY was IFR or worse 13% of the time, against 8% from June to August.
ACY departures left within 15 minutes of schedule 79% of the time across 2,568 flights, June 2025 to May 2026. Before 9 AM departures did best (91%) and 6 to 9 PM did worst (65%).
