The US DoT published the July 2024 data, and we updated our models. We are sharing two of them here. Remember to click the double-headed arrow at the bottom right to optimize for your monitor.
In the model above, you can drill down into the data by selecting from various menus on each page.
Page one shows that on-time arrivals in 2024 are mainly in the red. Each page illustrates how the industry can’t seem to get operations to match schedules—schedules that they create!

For transparency, here’s a link to our model that tracks delay reasons. The model includes several menu options to drill down into the data.
