Find out at which airports your flight is most likely to get delayed—and which times of day are worst for takeoff. (travel.yahoo.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
The Swiss are known for their long history of accurate timepieces, but the Germans know how to use them. At most German airports if the schedule says 2:32, the plane backs up at 2:32.
Good for them. But I'm pretty sure that airport delays are not caused by a failure to tell time.

Sure, the first flight of the day gets out on time, but it has to land somewhere.
Traffic flows along fairly well until the system hits saturation.
How about a study of traffic volume vs delays. Look at the on-time stats for KRIR

Between the delays at EWR and the price it cost to fly in to that airport, its been a better idea/option for me to fly into LGA or JFK (which some days don't do much better) then EWR. I will admit, the NYC area is only for pleasure for me.
Amtrak gets you in to the city center. By the time you arrive an hour or more early, park your car, .... then fly to EWR, LGA, or MacArthur Field (ICP) then collect your stuff and take a cab or bus into the city you could be on your second Manhattan. It's making less and less sense to fly into NY.
BWI has been rehabbing and resurfacing its runways for the past 18 months. The work is about complete. I wonder how much this work on the two main runways effects the amount of delays. The airports main carrier is Southwest for which many of the delayed flights start well before the aircraft arrive at BWI.
