New data shows so far this year's holiday
travel season went a lot smoother than last year's
flight tracking site.
Flight aware reports that US airlines canceled less than 1%
of all flights between December 20th and the 26th.
The number of flights canceled over that period stood at just
1100 out of the total of 100 and 62,000 scheduled flights.
That is a lot better than last year
over this past holiday week, flight delays peaked on Tuesday.
That's the day after Christmas flight
aware reports that airlines delayed nearly 28%
of flights on Tuesday with an average of 52 minutes delayed arrival.
This year is in contrast to the travel conditions towards the end of 2022.
Remember that
when Southwest Airlines experienced a 10 day meltdown in service over
the holidays that left more than 2 million travelers stranded.
Southwest still had the most delays out of all us.
Airlines over the holiday week with 27% of its
scheduled flights delayed between December 20th and the 26th.
Southwest canceled 2% of its flights during the same period.
