Last year in December Southwest's on-time arrivals were low, but with in the last month the company increased its number drastically. Southwest now has an estimated 78.9 % on-time arrival rate for the month of January. The number is catching up to the leader in on-time arrivals: Delta. Delta has an 80.1% arrival rate which is considered low compared to other month in Delta.
