The Department of Transportation's 2019 Air Travel Consumer Report came out yesterday, reporting that 79 percent of domestic flights last year arrived within 15 minutes of the airline’s schedule — the government’s definition of being on time. That was down slightly from 79.2 percent in 2018.
Hawaiian Airlines took home the prize for being the nation’s most punctual airline for the 16th straight year. Hawaiian scored an 87.7 percent on-time mark, followed by Delta Air Lines at 83.5 percent. After that, from best to worst, it was Alaska Airlines, Southwest, Spirit, Allegiant, American, United, JetBlue and discount carrier Frontier Airlines, last at 73.1 percent.
A total of 302 domestic flights were stuck on the ground for three hours or longer, a 50 percent increase over 2018. Cancellations rose to 1.9 percent, up from 1.7 percent in 2018. Hawaiian had the lowest cancellation rate, while the highest rates belonged to American, Southwest and United.
