Hawaiian and Aloha hold the top spots for on-time performances. This is, in part, because the carriers don’t have to deal with the same extreme weather conditions that other carriers face, and they don’t serve the worst airports in the country. On the other hand, Atlantic Southeast has the most room for improvement, and US Airways is the largest carrier to make the Worst list.
