Domestic air travelers flying through Newark Liberty International Airport are more likely to face delays than those flying through the nation’s other large airports, based on the most recent year of data from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), part of the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Data on more than seven million commercial domestic flights between Oct. 1, 2018 and Sept. 30, 2019 show that the average flight within the US arrives at the gate 14 minutes after a scheduled arrival (excluding cancelled or diverted flights). About 7% of flights arrived more than an hour late.
