| Denver International Airport |
Have you ever rushed to the airport, frantically maneuvering through the ever daunting gauntlet of security, and finally sprinting down the concourse like O.J. Simpson in one of those old Hertz commercials, only to discover that your flight has been delayed. This unfortunate tragedy happens way too often to unsuspecting travelers. If it has happened to you, then I would be willing to bet that you have wondered which airlines are usually on time and which one will have you stuck waiting around those monotonous airport. Well, I cannot vouch for the whole nation, but I do have the 2012 statistics for Denver International Airport (DIA). Last year, DIA had over 25 million eager travelers passing through it's gates on over 230,000 flights. Of these flights, by far the most punctual airline was Sky West (a subsidiary of American and US Airways) which was on time or early about 62 percent of the time. It was followed up by Jet Blue with a 47 % rate and Frontier Airlines with 44%. Finally, the airline with the most delays last year at DIA was Southwest Airlines with an abysmal track record of 36 percent. Now you might be wondering about those dreaded cancellations. Well, last year there were 2,457 flights that were cancelled at DIA and most of them took place in the late winter and early spring. Not surprising since March and April are Denver's most snowiest months. I hope that these statistics will shed some light on the efficiency of some of the major airlines and will help you in making your future travel plans.
