In the month of January Southwest Airlines has increased its amount of on time arrival flights. With the hazardous weather conditions that have been hitting the Northeast arriving on time can be difficult in winter months. 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.
