These 10 major airlines have the worst track record for Labor Day travel in 2026, survey says

A survey of U.S. Labor Day travel disruptions points to wide differences in how major airlines and airports handle delays. Using on-time performance data from the U.S. Department of Transportation for Labor Day weekends from 2020 through 2025, the study covered large carriers and 45 major airports. It ranks the 10 U.S. airlines with the highest shares of delayed departures during those holiday periods, from the worst to least problematic. The survey also identifies the 10 airports with the most Labor Day delays by the same delayed-departure percentage ranking. The full lists were referenced but not included in the provided text.
