The results are in for the most on-time major US airlines for 2019, with the Department of Transportation releasing the ranking in its annual Air Travel Consumer Report .

While the rankings remained pretty constant from 2018, with a few exceptions, the overall trend in the industry shows airlines are becoming more punctual while overall performance declined slightly.

No airline on the list ranked lower than 70%, an improvement from last year that saw Frontier Airlines dip slightly below that number and JetBlue Airlines nearly falling short as well.
