Air Canada ranks last in on-time performance among 10 biggest North American airlines
Air Canada logos are seen on the tails of planes at the airport in Montreal, Que., June 26, 2023.
WestJet, which placed seventh, saw 62 per cent of its trips make it to the gate on time — defined as within 15 minutes of scheduled arrival. On top of a shortage of air traffic controllers, Air Canada has pointed to thunderstorms and a network running at full tilt amid high demand, which can mean longer recovery times after a disruption.Some 140,000 passengers per day flew on Air Canada’s 36,000 trips last month, said spokesman Peter Fitzpatrick in an email.
Nav Canada has acknowledged that some delays at the country’s biggest airports over the past two months owe in part to a dearth of air traffic controllers.
