AIRLINES’ JULY ON-TIME PERFORMANCE IMPROVES – Houston Chronicle
U.S. airlines had their best July in four years, meeting on-time targets 75 percent of the time. The figure compares favorably with July of 2007, when only 69.8 percent of flights arrived on time. Despite the improvements, which can be attributed to carriers offering 2.7 percent fewer flights this year, the industry still has a fairly bad on-time record. 2008 is the third-worst year for delays since records started being kept 14 years ago. Delta’s Comair ranked lowest in the ratings with a 64.6 percent rate, and Pinnacle was the best at 85.6 percent.
