Airline Delays

With summer at our doorstep, most of us cannot wait to finish our exams and go home for the summer. It is a much needed break. Before you get your friends to bring you to the airport, you better make sure your flight is on time so you don't have to wait that long. Only 76.94% of flights are on time. That may seem like a large number to some people, but think if you owned your own business and one out of every four customers were dissatisfied. That is how bad of a job airlines are doing in keeping their customers happy. Granted some things are out of their control, i.e. the weather, which accounts for only .88% of all delays. Only .07% of delays are caused by security issues. The airlines have a bit of explaining to do as to why they are so inconsiderately running their business.
