Hawaiian Airlines held onto its customary top spot for on-time performance.

Hawaiian’s on-time performance easily topped the 83.5 average for the 16 reporting carriers.

In other categories, Hawaiian was second for fewest flight cancellations with 0.1 percent, or eight out of 5,838 flights; fourth in fewest consumer complaints with 0.39 per 100,000 passengers; and sixth for fewest mishandled baggage reports with 2.08 per 1,000 passengers, or a total of 1,478 for 711,266 passengers.
