Airline delays worsen
And air travelers thought 2007 was bad. The latest data show that nearly one-third of commercial flights in the U.S. arrived late or were canceled in January — up, albeit slightly, from the same month last year. According to the Associated Press, the results were an improvement from December — usually a busier month for leisure travelers — when almost 40% of flights by the nation’s 20 largest carriers were delayed or canceled. According to the report, United Airlines had the worst on-time arrival rate in January at 62%, followed by SkyWest Inc. at 65% and American Eagle at close to 66%. Meanwhile, Hawaiian Airlines had the best on-time arrival rate at 94.1%, followed by Aloha Airlines at 93.2% and US Airways at 79.5%.
