The slow-down in airline industry appears to be making it easier for airlines to get flights to the gates on-time, according to FlightStats, which researches and compiles airline data.
If you traveled by air for the holidays, you may know first-hand that airlines had a rough time being on-time in December, with 65 percent of arrivals being on-time. That number improved in January with 76 percent on-time arrivals.
According to FlightStats, the top five U.S. airlines for on-time arrivals in January were Hawaiian Airlines, Virgin America, Southwest Airlines, Sun Country Airlines and Frontier Airlines.
The five worst on-time performers for the month were Comair, Freedom Airlines, Air Wisconsin Airlines, Great Lakes Aviation and Champlain Enterprises.
U.S. airports with the top on-time performance in January were Oakland, Houston, Phoenix, Memphis and San Diego, FlightStats said.
