CHARLOTTE — As travelers returned to the skies in 2022, Charlotte Douglas International Airport — one of the world’s busiest airports — was up to the task. That’s according to a newly released on-time performance report from aviation data and analytics company Cirium.
Cirium found that nearly 80.7% of the 457,871 flights at CLT departed as scheduled in 2022. That earned Charlotte Douglas an on-time ranking of No. 6 among U.S. airports. It landed at No. 10 among airports worldwide.
For American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ: AAL), the dominant carrier at CLT, just shy of 78.3% of its 1,076,100 flights arrived on time. It placed fourth among North American airlines and tenth among global carriers.
