United Airlines today announced that it exceeded its 80 percent on-time arrival domestic and international performance goals for the month of February, following the airline’s strong January performance. As a result, United is rewarding its eligible employees with a $100 on-time bonus to recognize this performance. Despite challenging weather, including major snow events in several of the airline’s hub markets, United ended the month with an 80.8 percent domestic on-time arrival rate, and an 80.5 percent international on-time rate.
This performance marks the first time since 2003 that United’s domestic and international mainline operations both achieved 80 percent or higher on-time arrival during the first two months of the year. United’s domestic operations have averaged over 80 percent on time since last September, and the airline also achieved its best single-day on-time performance of the year with a 91.2 percent domestic performance on Feb. 13.
