• Description:
  After previously setting new lows in flights operated for two months running, U.S. airlines were unlikely to set another record low in June, and they didn’t. Instead, in the month of June, airlines operated 236,234 flights. While that’s still 65% fewer flights than they operated in June 2019, it’s a considerable 31% jump over May of this year. Fewer flights meant a record on-time arrival performance, 92.7%, and a cancellation percentage of less than ½ of a percent. Unlike in previous months, airlines reduced schedules well in advance elimination the need for large numbers of cancellations which take place within seven days of scheduled flight time.
