Bush Intercontinental has the nation’s best on-time performance rate:
As far as on-time arrivals and on-time departures are concerned, no other major airport in the country has a higher rate of on-time performance than the Houston Airport System’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH). This, according to the latest On-Time Performance Report released this month by the United States Department of Transportation.
The report, released Aug. 4, surveyed the nation’s top 33 major airports for on-time arrival and departure performances through June 2005 and found that IAH ranked as the #1 performer in all four rating categories: on-time departures and arrivals for the month of June 2005, and on-time arrivals and departures year-to-date through the same month.
The Houston Airport System attributes the top ranking to the recently completed $3.1 billion Capital Improvement Program.
