It’s the holiday season, so many plane passengers are going through airports to visit friends and family. Sadly, everyone knows that airline delays are a massive issue for people who decide to travel by flying with commercial airlines. Luckily, a new report is highlighting the three airlines that are the least likely to cancel flights. Still, airline flight delays and cancellations are sometimes unavoidable.

Plane passengers hate flight delays and cancellations

Millions of plane passengers travel throughout the year. Naturally, many of them resort to flying in December as it’s a time to be with loved ones. Now, Travel and Leisure has the three airlines that are the least likely to cancel flights during this busy month. This report uses data from Airalo. Of course, these airlines are also pretty reliable for the rest of the year, which is one reason they are so trusted. 

Plane passengers can trust American Airlines

The report says that plane passengers can trust American Airlines the most. This is the case because the company only cancels about 0.8 percent of its end-of-the-year flights, making it the most reliable by this metric. Notably, the airline canceled 1,210 flights in December of 2022 and 2023. 

Delta Airlines is pretty reliable

The report says that stressed-out plane passengers can also rely on Delta Airlines not to cancel flights. Based on recent trends, Delta only canceled about 1.19 percent of its December flights, which comes out to only about 1,873 flights that the airline felt it couldn’t allow to occur. 

JetBlue is also solid

Plane passengers can also trust that their JetBlue flights will occur as planned. According to the report, the budget airline only canceled 548 December flights in recent memory. Though this number is smaller than that of American and Delta, it comes out to be about 1.21 percent of its schedule. Still, this is pretty impressive and shows that the company tries its best not to cancel airplane flights and disrupt people’s schedules.
