On-time performance numbers for US airlines in the month of January were reported today by the Department of Transportation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The news was good for US carriers; they finally were able to buck the trend of tardiness that had plagued them in recent months.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From December to January, on-time performance increased from 72 percent to 76.3 percent for 16 major US airlines.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While the month-over-month numbers showed improvement, on-time performance remained a few points lower than a year earlier.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Officials point to more crowded flights, a sign of the recovering industry, as a reason for many of the recent delays.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hawaiian Airlines<\/a> once again boasted the best on-time performance with a 91.2% rate, followed by Alaska Airlines<\/a> at 85.3%, and United Air at 84.5%.<\/p>\n
