US Airways reported its operational performance numbers for the busy travel period surrounding the Thanksgiving holiday. Over the five-day period (Wednesday, Nov. 21 through Sunday, Nov. 25), the airline’s arrivals within 14 minutes of schedule (which is the measure the Department of Transportation uses to measure on-time performance in the airline industry) averaged 86.6 percent and the airline completed 99.6 percent of its scheduled flights.
"Our dedicated and hard working employees did a tremendous job taking care of our customers during the busy holiday travel weekend," said US Airways’ President Scott Kirby. "Not only was it our best Thanksgiving but it was also our best Wednesday through Sunday on-time performance of any week since our merger. We expect this positive operational momentum created this past week will no doubt carry us through the rest of this year and into 2008."
"The U.S. Department of Transportation should also be commended for their part in making the Thanksgiving holiday travel period a successful one for our customers and US Airways thanks Secretary Peters and her team for their initiatives," Kirby said.
