The worst airports for delays, once again,
per each 1,000 scheduled flights:

LGA 155.89
EWR 81.21
ORD 63.30
SFO 55.84
Boston 47.45
Philadelphia 44.50
JFK 38.60
Atlanta 30.90
Houston 28.10
DTW 17.62

No real surprices, except perhaps that DTW did pretty well and perhaps that LGA actually is reported to have got over 84% of flights out on time!

Tough to believe!

AND:

Air travelers frustrated with delays had a lot of company last year: More than a quarter of flights on major airlines arrived late -- the worst record in five years, the Transportation Department said Thursday.

Planes arrived late 27.4 percent of the time in 2000, 3.5 percentage points worse than the year before and the largest percentage of delays since the department started collecting this kind of data in 1995, according to the department's Air Travel Consumer Report.
