Source: Airline Arrival Performance Dashboard (Jan 1 – Oct 31st, 2022 15-minutes past schedule). The Worst Airlines (By Flight Delay) Rank
The Best Airlines (By Flight On Time) Rank One such way is to use publicly available tools - such as the Bureau of Transportation Statistics Airline Arrival Performance Dashboard - that can be used to effectively visualize and analyze flight data for any airline in the United States.īy leveraging airline data, federal agencies can track and receive credible information, understand transportation’s role in society, and measure the consequences of transportation on the economy and environment.įor purposes of this article, we’ll look at 10 major air carriers - Alaska Airlines, Allegiant Air, American Airlines, Delta Airlines, Frontier Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, JetBlue Airways, Southwest Airlines, Spirit Airlines, and United Airlines - and rank them by flight on time/delay, baggage lost, passengers denied confirmed space, and consumer complaints. However, when looking at airlines through a data lens, there are some ways of measuring the best and worst airlines in the US. And that, in general, Delta has the best OTP of North American carriers.For most people, airline rankings are subjective they really depend on your beliefs, your personal experience, and your individual preferences. It just goes to show that how you manipulate the data you have makes all the difference in the world. Anyway, here are their stats for October 2019, which is the most recent list available: Ranking That may or may not be significant, all things being equal. Granted, the DOT doesn’t have an average available, just month-to-month. Department of Transportation’s ranked list of on-time arrivals for North American-based airlines is different from both Cirium and OAG.
That’s quite a difference for 2 companies that were apparently looking at the same thing 😉ĭelta, which was the only U.S.-based airline to make the Top 10 for Cirium’s list of mainline airlines, ranked as #11 (83.56%, which is 2.13 points lower than Cirium’s report) on OAG’s list. The company bases its ranking on its monitoring of more than 100,000 flights a day and defines an on-time flight as one that arrives at the gate within 15 minutes of its scheduled time. OAG based its 2020 airline punctuality report on 57.5 million flight records from 2019 and looks at the largest 250 passenger airlines and whether their flights arrive within 15 minutes of the scheduled time.Ĭirium: Founded in England in 1909, Cirium develops a cloud-based platform to provide information-based analytics and decision tools for professionals and business individuals. OAG: Founded in England in 1853, OAG is an air travel intelligence firm that provides flight status, aviation scheduling, planning and analytics solutions. You would think that, with looking at the similar type of data, they would have similar results.īoth Cirium and OAG (Official Aviation Guide) collect and manipulate data. Two major data crunching entities, OAG and Cirium, released reports regarding OTP.
If a certain route only arrives on time 70-something percent of the time and we only have an hour between Plane A and Plane B, we may look into a different airline for Plane A that had a better chance of getting there on time. When picking what flights we’re going to take, especially when tighter connections are involved, an airline’s history of on-time performance (OTP) comes into play.
