Which Hawaii Flights and Airlines Have Best Safety and On-Time Records

January 5, 2022 by Beat of Hawaii 5 Comments

Hawaii Flights

Regarding safety, the 2022 roster of the world’s safest airlines was recently reported by airlineratings.com. Regarding Hawaii flights, Alaska Airlines and Hawaiian Airlines both were near the top of that cut.

The safest domestic airlines flying to Hawaii were in this order: Alaska Airlines, Hawaiian Airlines, American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, and United Airlines.

The last time we reported on the safest airlines, US legacy airlines American, Delta and United didn’t make the cut, so this is an improvement.

On-time performance. Cirium just released the latest results for 2021 on-time results. Of the airlines studied, Delta came in first and was awarded a platinum award for operational excellence. Overall on-time domestic airline ratings were Delta (1), Alaska (2), American (3), United (4), and Southwest (7).

“Delta Air Lines takes home the award for most on-time North American airline with 87.7% of its flights arriving on time. The carrier topped Alaska Airlines (81.7%) and American Airlines (80.5%).”

Regional carriers like Hawaiian Airlines were not included in the study. Had they been, they would likely have been ranked first, with typically more than 90% of its flights arriving on time based on prior data. Obviously, Hawaiian is fortunate to have good year round weather in it’s favor and a significant percentage of brief interisland flights.

Bottom line: Your Hawaii flights on Alaska and Hawaiian are likely to be on-time.

    I commented several months ago that covid issues would not disappear based on a time line. It is a situation that cannot be legislated away. There can be imposed restrictions, such as vaccinations, masks, etc. But reality is that covid will be with us for years to come. Society needs to come to the understanding that covid will never be contained, at least in the next 30+ years. My total desire is come back to enjoy the pleasures of the Hawaiian culture.

    Where did the “estimated more than 90% of its flights arriving on time” come from? How can you compare estimated on-time stats and then say that would likely make that airline first when comparing them to airlines with actual on-time stats?

    Also, on-time stats for flights to AND from Hawaii would be more important than stats for airlines that fly all over the USA.

    Happy New Year!

    We just flew in. Covid is making big changes to in time. We were schedule on HA63 on Saturday. It was delayed and then cancelled. They did manage to get us on the American flight that left an hour later. Our friends flew out on Sunday. Their flight was delayed as well. We both arrived on the island, just a little late, but in one piece. While not the smoothest or our scheduled plan, a little aloha spirit made a situation that could have been worse much easier. Mahalo to all workers!!

    And yet Delta had a mess during the holidays with delayed and canceled flights. My Mother had to stay an extra night due to a canceled Delta flight last week.

      Most airlines had issues last week and into this week. COVID and weather—one we can control, the other we can’t.
