Hawaiian Airlines lead all U.S. carriers in punctuality during October, the U.S. Department of Transportation reports.
Averaging an 89.7 percent on-time performance ranking during the month among the nation’s 16 largest carriers, Hawaiian Airlines exceeded the industry average for the month by 9 percentage points. Hawaiian Airlines also leads all the carriers on the year with 92.6 percent of all flights arriving on-time.
The department said Wednesday that 80 percent of domestic flights arrived on-time in October, down from 81.1 percent in September and 84.1 percent in October of last year.
Beside Hawaiian Airlines, Alaska Airlines and Delta had the best ratings, while regional carrier Envoy Air had the worst.
About 1.1 percent of October flights were canceled among the 17 carriers. That was better than September but worse than the previous October.
Hawaiian Airlines saw just 17 — or 0.3 percent — of its 6,329 scheduled flights cancelled, according to the department.
