Most On Time Airlines
Posted by Noid on January 2, 2008 in Travel
Forbestraveler.com just released an article with on-time ratings of airlines. If you read my post on Southwest you know how I am a big believer in their efficiency and model. Well, consequently they are rated the number one on time airline amongst the national carriers. Their strategy is simple, buck conventional wisdom. Do not fly to massive hubs and connect people there and use smaller, less congested airports!
Among the big U.S. carriers, Southwest recorded 80.4% annual on-time arrivals, making it the most punctual of the major fliers (and third behind Hawaiian and Aloha). It also holds the highest percentage of on-time arrivals (82.1%) since the DOT began tracking this information in 1987, making it the most on-time U.S. carrier overall.
