US: In June, airlines improved on-time performance from 2015
Airlines were running on time more often in June than they did last summer and travellers seemed to be finding less to complain about. But that was before computer outages this month at Delta and last month at Southwest led to more than 4,000 flight cancelations, widespread delays and travel nightmares. The DoT said Wednesday that 78% of flights on major US airlines arrived on time in June, up from 74.8% in June 2015. The on-time rate slipped from May’s 83.4% mark, however. Hawaiian Airlines and Alaska Airlines had the best on-time ratings. American Airlines had the worst. At least one in every four flights was late on American, Virgin America, Spirit Airlines, Southwest Airlines and JetBlue Airways. Flights that arrive at least 15 minutes behind schedule are considered late.<br/>
