Top airlines for on-time arrivals in 2023

Atlanta, Georgia-based Delta Air Lines on Tuesday was named the most on-time North American air carrier again in 2023 by aviation analytics company Cirium.

Delta Air Lines is being crowned the most on-time North American carrier again in 2023, according to aviation analytics firm Cirium.

The report, published Tuesday, said Delta flights arrived within 15 minutes of their scheduled gate arrival time 84.72% of the time during the year.

The Atlanta-based carrier has received the No. 1 position among North American airlines in 2022, 2021, 2019 and 2018, according to Cirium. 

Its high rate of punctuality in 2023 helped it win its third back-to-back Cirium Platinum Award. That award commemorates the airline’s "commitment to operational performance and minimizing passenger disruption," Cirium said.

Globally, the Colombia-based Avianca Airlines came out on top. Delta was fourth.

In 2022, more than 31.24 million travelers used the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, according to its website. The airport has nearly 120 gates and serves over 160 non-stop markets.
