On-time performance is worst in six years

U.S. airlines’ on-time performance in November was the worst in six years, resulting in more service and baggage-related complaints, U.S. government data show.

Atlantic Southeast Airlines, a unit of SkyWest Inc., ranked last among the 20 carriers tracked by the Transportation Department, with only 65.7% of its flights arriving no more than 14 minutes later than scheduled. Industrywide, 76.5% of flights were on time, the worst performance in November since 2000.
