NOTES: The current value is compared to the value from the same period in the previous year to account for seasonality.
The data cover the 10 largest U.S. air carriers. A scheduled operation consists of any nonstop segment of a flight. The term “late” is defined as 15 minutes after the scheduled departure or arrival time. A cancelled flight is one that was not operated but was listed in a carrier’s computer reservation system within seven calendar days of the scheduled departure. A diverted flight is one that left from the scheduled departure airport but flew to a destination point other than the scheduled destination point.
Data for Aloha Airlines, available beginning in October 2000, and for American Eagle, available beginning in January 2001, will be excluded here until one year's data is available to retain comparability with previous years.
