These 10 major airlines have the worst track record for Labor Day travel in 2026, survey says
A survey looking at U.S. Department of Transportation on-time performance data found that some airlines and airports perform noticeably worse during Labor Day weekends. The study covered delays and cancellations across major aircraft carriers and 45 major airports from 2020 through 2025. Because Labor Day weekend is typically one of the busiest travel periods of the year, the dataset highlights which carriers and airports generate the highest rates of delayed departures. The article lists the 10 U.S. airlines with the most Labor Day delays, ranked from highest to lowest by the percentage of delayed departures, and also references a separate ranking of the 10 airports with the most Labor Day delays. However, the specific rankings beyond the description are not included in the provided text.
