Top US Air Carriers’ On-Time Arrivals
Improve in August
Despite hurricanes, labor disputes and end of summer
congestion, the top US carriers delivered better service in August
than in July
Portland, Ore. (PRWEB) September 6, 2005 -- FlightStats, the
leading flight performance data service today released their top US
carrier performance report for August 2005. Most significant in the
report as a whole is that the on-time average for 41 top domestic
carriers is 77% (up from 73% in July) and the average length of
delay for those flights more than 15 minutes late is down by more
than 10% in a single month despite operational challenges due to
weather and labor disputes.
The complete report is viewable
at www.flightstats.com in the FlightStats Monthly
Performance Report. Unlike government sources which offer limited
information on a subset of carriers, airports and routes six weeks
after the fact, FlightStats offers coverage of more than 99% of all
flight activity for nearly 100 domestic carriers and nearly 90% of
200 foreign carrier flights. FlightStats data is available in
real-time for flight status notification or for reporting within two
days of any flight. Data is also available on-demand for any route,
carrier, or airport in North America, Europe and much of the rest of
the world.
Volume of excessive delays also dropped in August.
Of the 860,339 US arrivals in August, 9% (as compared to 12% in
July) arrived more than 45 minutes late, and 12% (compared to 14% in
July) were between 15 and 45 minutes late.
“The airlines are
faced with enormous challenges; rising fuel costs, airport and
weather forced delays and diminished perceptions of quality of
service.” Says Jeff Kennedy, CEO of Conducive Technology, maker of
FlightStats. “FlightStats provides timely information, in a breadth
and detail never before available to help buyers and sellers, fly
smarter.”
