US: Airline delays up in October
4 December 2007Delays in the nation’s aviation system intensified in October, causing the airline industry’s on-time arrival record to fall from September’s level, while still remaining ahead of last year.
Figures Monday from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics show 78.2 percent of domestic flights operated by the nation’s biggest carriers arrived on time, down from 81.7 percent in September but stronger than October 2006, when 72.9 percent of flights landed on schedule.
