Delta Air Lines again has the best on-time performance rating among carriers in North America while Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport has more timely departures than all other global airports.

London-based Cirium, a tracker of aviation analytics, released its 2023 report this week, showing Delta’s on-time arrival rate last year was 84.72% for more than 1.6 million flights. Atlanta-based Delta, the largest carrier at MSP, has ranked as the timeliest carrier in North America for three consecutive years.

By Cirium’s measure, “An on-time flight is defined as a flight that arrives within 15 minutes of the scheduled gate arrival.”

Only three other airlines — Alaska, American and United — posted numbers above 80%. Air Canada came in 10th on the list with an on-time arrival rate of 63.17%, making 1 out of every 3 flights late.

While Delta fared well in topping all its domestic peers, Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport outshone major global airports with the best on-time departure rate of 84.44%. MSP narrowly edged Rajiv Gandhi International Airport in India, which saw an on-time departure rate of 84.42%.

Airport on-time performance is defined by a flight departing within 15 minutes of its scheduled departure.
