Airline Punctuality Improved in Summer ‘08

The major U.S. airlines’ July 2008 on-time performance improved by nearly 6 percent over the 2007 numbers, the AP reports. Flight cancellation rates and baggage handling performance were also notched up. Of course, considering last summer came pretty close to rock bottom, a small improvement may not be much to brag about—and we can name at least a couple of passengers who aren’t celebrating just yet.
