Surprise: some good US airline news
With all the doom and gloom lately about airlines, here’s a gem of good news: on-time US flights this past April were higher than the same month last year, according to the Air Travel Consumer Report.
But more good news:
- The rates of flight cancellations were down.
- Mishandled baggage also declined during the same periods.
- Complaints about airline service were down.
- And even complaints about pets dwindled.
Regarding the later: In April, carriers reported three incidents involving pets while traveling by air, down from five incidents in March. All three incidents in April involved pet deaths.
The Air Travel Consumer Report can be found at airconsumer.ost.dot.gov.
