Which airlines had the most on-time arrivals in 2022? Here are the Cirium rankings

Delta Air Lines was the industry's most reliable in North America in 2022, according to aviation analytics company Cirium, which ranked airlines by on-time arrivals. The company released the results for North American airlines from its annual On-Time Performance Review for 2022 on Thursday. The company tracked over 99% of flights in North America through Dec. 15, before a winter storm brought mass disruptions to flights amid holiday travel this month. On-time flights are those that arrive "within 15 minutes of the scheduled gate arrival," the company said in a news release. Delta Air Lines placed first for the second year in a row, with more than 84% of its nearly 960,000 flights arriving on time. “Congratulations to Delta Air Lines for their excellent punctuality performance in Cirium’s 2022 On-Time Performance Review, getting their passengers to their destination on time across North America as the market revived during 2022," Cirium CEO Jeremy Bowen said in a news release. "Ramping back up operations so quickly after an enforced slowdown is not easy to do." Nearly 72% of the more than 5m flights Cirium tracked through that period in North America made it to their destination on time.<br/>
