NOTES: Percentages may not add to 100 because of
independent rounding. Flights are on time if they depart from or arrive at the
gate less than 15 minutes after their scheduled departure or arrival
times. Data cover nonstop scheduled
service flights between points within the United States (including
territories) operated by U.S. air carriers that have at least 1 percent of
total domestic scheduled service passenger revenues. The airlines required to report in 2004
were: Alaska Airlines, America West Airlines, American Airlines, American
Eagle Airlines, ATA Airline (formerly doing business as American Trans Air),
Atlantic Coast Airlines (became Independence Air in late 2004), Atlantic
Southeast Airlines, Comair, Continental Airlines, Continental Express, Delta
Airlines, ExpressJet Airlines, Northwest Airlines, Southwest Airlines,
SkyWest Airlines, United Airlines, and US Airways. JetBlue Airways and Hawaiian Airlines
reported voluntarily.
