Airline On-Time Performance

When you see news saying 'Southwest had the most delays last month,' this is the data behind it. Airlines report every domestic flight: when it was supposed to land and depart, when it actually did, and why it was late if it was. You can see which carriers are most reliable, whether certain airports or routes are chronically delayed, and what's causing the problems (bad weather, the airline's own issues, air traffic backups, or planes running behind from earlier flights). It's updated monthly, though there's usually a 3-month delay before the data shows up.
