Understanding Airport Reliability Rankings
How We Rank Airports
Our airport reliability rankings are based on official data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS). We analyze cancellation rates, on-time performance, and total flight volume to provide accurate reliability scores.
Airports are categorized as High Reliability (under 1.5% cancellations), Moderate (1.5-3%), or Lower Reliability (over 3%) based on their recent performance.
