Air travel in the U.S. last year was defined by chaotic delays and cancellations during the 43-day government shutdown. New global punctuality rankings from aviation analytics firm Cirium show just how dire delays were in 2025.
Cirium analyzes flight data from more than 600 sources including airlines, airports, global distribution systems, and civil aviation authorities. A flight is considered on time if it lands within 15 minutes of its scheduled gate arrival time.
