How has the on-time record been in the era of COVID? [at JFK]
I'm looking at a 90 minute layover at JFK (international, from LHR) and also at IAD. Obviously JFK is the most important. I would tend to think that the on-time record must be doing well now.

On AA back when flights were empty flights were arriving very early in part due to less airport congestion. More recently I'm seeing flights arrive closer or even past arrival time. The good aspect it would seem is that because of reduced flight schedules and additional time needed for cleaning turn times are being lengthened, particularly at hubs. So if your inbound a/c arrives early your departure will be likely to go out on time.

OAG has stopped publishing their reports, so anything is anecdotal.
It would be interesting to see if notoriously late airlines (like AC with their OTP always <50%) have improved with less flights operating
