Who’s Cancelling Flights?

This has been a rather poor summer in terms of cancellation and delays. If you are flying soon, and the thought of a cancelled flight or some time on the tarmac makes your skin crawl, this might help: rankings and results for the major airlines’ delays and cancellations.

The best of the pack: Southwest, with only 0.1% of their flights cancelled and over three quarters of their flights on-time. The worst? Northwest Airlines, with over 50 times as many cancellations. The next best after Southwest, Contentinal, has 1.0% of their flights cancelled. Something to remember next time you fly the friendly skis.
