## Caption

Passengers aboard a Denver-bound flight last year spent seven hours stuck on a tarmac, one example of the rapidly increasing “tarmac delays” that air travelers face, according to a new study.

The overall on-time performance of U.S. airlines has reached its worst level since 2014, with nearly a quarter of flights delayed, diverted, or canceled, according to the “Plane Truth 2026” study.

In Colorado, the on-time arrival rates at Denver International Airport (75.4%) and the Colorado Springs Airport (73.1%) both lagged below the national average of 76.3% for the largest U.S. airlines.

Denver-based Frontier Airlines ranked worst among major airlines for the fourth year in a row in customer complaints and involuntary passenger bumpings.
