HONOLULU — Hawaiian Airlines had the nation’s top on-time performance last yr with 87.5% of its flights arriving at their destinations on time, the U.S. Department of Transportation reported.
Hawaiian Airlines has led the nation for 17 years after beginning its streak in 2004, The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported Saturday. The national average was 79%.
“I couldn’t be prouder of our team members for overcoming the most challenging yr in our industry’s history to ensure our visitors continued to enjoy our leading on-time reliability,” company President Peter Ingram mentioned.
Delta Air Lines Inc. was second at 87.2%, followed by Spirit Airlines at 86.6%, department officials mentioned. Allegiant Air was last among the 10 listed carriers at 71.3%.
Hawaiian Airlines reduced the flights it offered and suspended most of its international flight routes last yr as a result of declining demand and travel restrictions implemented during the coronavirus pandemic that began in March.
The airline gradually resumed nonstop service connecting the islands with 16 cities throughout the nation. It restarted international flights between Honolulu and Japan and South Korea.
Hawaiian Airlines is anticipated to launch new routes between Honolulu and 4 cities in North America in March and April, together with nonstop service to and from Austin, Texas; Ontario, California; and Orlando, Florida, as well as every day nonstop service to Long Beach, California; and Maui.
