Air Canada moves up
Airlines are like cellphone companies and banks in that we love to complain about them.
So here’s a tidbit for today: Air Canada is moving up the list in a ranking of who gets you there on time.
According to Flight Stats, which compiles daily information, Air Canada ranked No. 2 in June among the major North American carriers for getting travellers to the gate within 15 minutes of the scheduled arrival, at 81.28 per cent.
At the top of the list is Alaska Airlines of Seattle, at 86.8 per cent, and No. 3 is Delta Air Lines, at 76.39 per cent.
Note that the statistics, also published by Forbes, are for what Flight Stats considers North America’s major airlines.
Air Canada holds a different, lower rank for all North American carriers, and different again among the world’s airlines.
Notable for Air Canada is how it has moved up the Flight Stats majors list, from No. 3 in May, even though the percentage was higher, at 82.86, and No. 6 in April, at 75.45.
It ranked No. 8 in each of the first three months of the year, with percentages ranging from 59.2 per cent to 70.2 per cent.
(In June, WestJet, by comparison, stood at 80.61 per cent, and Porter at 73.93 per cent.)
