Air Canada notched the worst on-time performance among 10 large airlines in North America in 2023, according to a new report.
The country’s biggest carrier landed 63 per cent of its flights on time last year, placing it last among the continent’s 10 largest airlines, according to Cirium, an aviation analytics firm.
That means roughly 140,000 planes rolled up to the gate more than 15 minutes after scheduled arrival.
The score was five percentage points below the second- and third-lowest carriers, JetBlue Airways and Frontier Airlines.
Canada’s other major airline, WestJet, placed seventh in North America with a score of 69 per cent.
The best results came from Delta Air Lines, which ranked first at 85 per cent, followed by Alaska Airlines at 82 per cent.
Comparably, a ranking of European counterparts placed Dutch carrier KLM in the 10th spot with a score of 76 per cent, 13 points higher than Air Canada.
