Cirium's 2024 On-Time Performance Review highlights Delta Airlines as the most punctual airline in North America for the fourth consecutive year.
Many travelers have experienced delays at one point or another while flying. A recently-released report from Cirium identified 2024’s top performers among airlines globally and regionally when it came to operating on-time flights. For North American airlines, Delta Airlines and nine other carriers appeared on the aviation analytics company’s 2024 list of 'Top 10 Winners' for punctuality. It considered flights that arrived within 15 minutes of their scheduled gate arrival time to be 'on-time.
' The company’s '2024 On-Time Performance Review' report came just a day before JetBlue Airways agreed to pay a $2 million penalty to resolve Department of Transportation allegations that it 'operated four chronically delayed flights at least 145 times between June 2022 through November 2023.' JETBLUE HIT WITH $2M FINE FOR CHRONIC FLIGHT DELAYS The carrier told FOX Business it has 'invested tens of millions of dollars to reduce flight delays, particularly related to ongoing air traffic control challenges' in the Northeast and Florida in recent years. 'Through these efforts, we have seen significant operational improvements in 2024 including better on-time performance during this year’s peak summer travel season,' JetBlue said. The airline also said it believes 'accountability for reliable air travel equally lies with the U.S. government, which operates our nation’s air traffic control system,' calling for the government to 'prioritize modernizing outdated ATC technology' and to fix 'chronic air traffic controller shortages,' FOX Business previously reported. It ranked No. 7 for on-time flights on Cirium’s list for North America. The five North American airlines that Cirium found to be the most on-time were: The Atlanta-based carrier notched a 83.46% on-time arrival rate for its flights in 2024, landing it first-place among North American airlines for the fourth back-to-back year, according to the report.
