Among the 15 carriers FlyerIntel covers, all measured from the same source, PSA Airlines ranks 11th of 15 for on-time arrivals, 15th for cancellations and 13th for arrivals more than an hour late. Endeavor Air, Hawaiian Airlines, and Spirit Airlines cover a shorter window than the July 2023 – August 2026 most carriers share, so the ranks are not strictly like for like. The carriers next to it in that order are in the comparison table.

Over the most recent 12 months (2025-09 to 2026-08) PSA Airlines arrived on time 73.4% of the time, against 73.9% in the 12 months before (2024-09 to 2025-08): broadly unchanged.

Why PSA Airlines cancels flights

Every cancellation carries a reason code the operating carrier filed with US DOT. July 2023 – August 2026.

PSA Airlines cancelled 26,392 of 738,753 scheduled flights — about 1 in every 28. The reason it filed most often was extreme weather, 78.0% of the cancellations it coded — about 1 in every 36 scheduled flights.

What these shares do not measure

A reason code is the operating carrier’s own filing. US DOT collects the reason the airline gave; it does not adjudicate it, and carriers differ in how they fill the form in. The split above describes what kind of disruption PSA Airlines records, not who was at fault when it happened, and it cannot be set against another airline’s split to decide which of the two is better run.

That is measurable rather than a disclaimer. Across the 15 carriers FlyerIntel publishes, the correlation between how much of its own canceling a carrier attributes to itself and how often it actually cancels is -0.45 — negative, which is the wrong sign for a ranking of fault and about the right sign for a difference in filing convention. Hawaiian Airlines attributed 82.8% of its cancellations to itself and cancelled 1.00% of its flights; SkyWest Airlines attributed 2.7% and cancelled 1.33%. The airline taking the most blame is the one that cancels least.

The figure on this page that does compare cleanly between airlines is the cancellation rate in Reliability, because it counts cancellations instead of reading the reason filed for them. The First Flight of the Day sets out the same finding from the airport-carrier records, and declines on the strength of it to compare any two carriers’ codes.

Ordinary bad weather is filed under air traffic, so weather’s full share is larger than its bar.

By airport

Shares are of PSA Airlines’s own coded cancellations at each airport and run across the row, so they total 100%. “Rate” is cancellations as a share of its scheduled departures there. Reading down a column compares one airline with itself in different weather and different airspace, which is the comparison these codes support — a carrier files the same way wherever it flies, so its filing habits largely cancel out of the differences between these rows in a way they never cancel out of a comparison between two airlines. Airports where PSA Airlines recorded fewer coded cancellations than the published minimum are not listed.

Source: US DOT Bureau of Transportation Statistics · Data covering July 2023 – August 2026 · These are the reason codes PSA Airlines itself filed with US DOT: the reason the airline gave, not an independent finding of fault, and airlines differ in how they apply them. FlyerIntel publishes the split only for carriers with at least 500 coded cancellations in the period; 26,392 were recorded. Whatever the reason code, a cancelled flight may qualify for an automatic refund under DOT’s rule, and the refund checker covers eligibility.

Each column is one month of PSA Airlines operations. The strongest single month of the period was November 2023 at 87.3% on time; the weakest was July 2026 at 63.5%. Individual months move for reasons that do not repeat (a hurricane season, a technology outage, a winter storm), which is why the section below combines the same data by calendar month instead.

December	57,549	73.5%	1.76%

Combining 3 to 4 years of operations by calendar month, PSA Airlines is at its best in October, when 84.0% of arrivals were on time, and at its worst in July at 67.4%, a spread of 16.6 percentage points between two months of the same airline. Cancellations peak in a month of their own: January at 8.94% of flights, against 0.39% in October.

This is the shape of the calendar, not a forecast. It says that if you book PSA Airlines in July you are booking into the part of the year when this airline has historically been least punctual, and that an October itinerary starts from a better position. It does not say anything about a particular date, and it cannot: the figure behind each month is 3 to 4 years of that same month combined, precisely so that one storm does not decide the answer.

Best time to fly PSA Airlines

How PSA Airlines departures have done at each hour of each weekday, across its whole network.

By day and hour

On-time arrival rate for each weekday and scheduled departure hour, in local time at the airport each flight leaves from, so the grid mixes time zones across the network.

Tuesday 5–6 AM was the most reliable slot for PSA Airlines (88.8% on time, 3,737 flights) and Sunday 7–8 PM the least (56.9%, 5,620 flights).

Hour of departure matters more than day of the week: hourly averages sit a typical 7.7 points from the network-wide rate, weekday averages 1.8 points.

Why PSA Airlines runs late

Share of total reported delay minutes by cause, as classified by the operating carrier.

Late-arriving aircraft49.0%

the inbound aircraft was late, so this flight started late

The airline29.1%

crew, maintenance, boarding and fueling, all within the carrier’s control

Air traffic control13.3%

Weather8.4%

weather severe enough to stop this flight specifically

Security0.2%

screening or terminal security incidents

Share of the delay minutes US DOT attributed to each cause for PSA Airlines. Only delays of 15 minutes or more are attributed. What the five causes mean

The largest single category for PSA Airlines is late-arriving aircraft, at 49.0% of attributed minutes. The category squarely inside the carrier’s own control (crew, maintenance, boarding, fueling) accounts for 29.1% of its delay minutes, against 33.8% across the 15 carriers covered here. That is 4.6 percentage points less of its delay minutes falling inside the airline than is typical for this group.

These shares describe how delay minutes were divided, not how often delays happened. A carrier with an unusually large air-traffic-control share is not necessarily worse run; it may simply fly more of its schedule through congested airspace. The one category that is squarely the airline’s own is the carrier category, which is why it is the one compared above.

How PSA Airlines handles bad weather

Departures by the weather at the origin in the hour they were scheduled to leave, July 2023 – August 2026.

9% of PSA Airlines’ weather-matched departures left in an hour of bad weather at the origin. 10.9% of them were cancelled, 3.9 times the 2.8% cancelled in normal hours, and 59.2% of those that flew arrived on time, against 76.5%. Those hours held 27% of the airline’s cancelled departures.

In bad weather PSA Airlines cancelled more than other carriers did: of the 40,924 bad-weather departures that could be compared, 11.1% were cancelled, against 6.2% for the other carriers at the same airports in the same months. It was above them in normal hours too (2.8% against 1.5%), so part of the difference is there in clear conditions as well. Its flights that operated arrived on time 58.9% of the time, 5.9 points below the others’ 64.8%.

Bad-weather hours against normal hours

Scheduled departures, July 2023 – August 2026

PSA Airlines cancellation and on-time rates in bad-weather and normal hours at the origin, with the other carriers at the same airports and months

Bad-weather hours	42,3209% of all matched	10.9%3.9 times normal	59.2%17.3 points below normal
Other carriers	40,924compared	6.2%	64.8%

Bad weather means IFR or LIFR conditions, or a storm, snow, ice, fog, heavy rain or high wind, at the origin; normal means VFR with none of those. Marginal hours are in neither row, and were 9% of PSA Airlines’ matched departures. Cancelled is the share of scheduled departures. The other carriers’ rows apply their rate in each airport and month to the departures PSA Airlines had there.

The most exposed airports were DFW (16.1% of 3,370), DCA (15.2% of 11,372), CLE (11.4% of 874); the least, CLT (7.1% of 13,536), ATL (7.8% of 1,000), DTW (8.4% of 730). The widest gap above the other carriers was at CLE, Cleveland: 11.6% cancelled against 3.9%.

DTW Detroit	730	8.4%	2.8%	4.6%

Airports are listed with at least 500 of PSA Airlines’ bad-weather departures and 500 weather-matched departures in all. Other carriers is their cancellation rate in the same airport and months, applied to PSA Airlines’ departures there, and is left blank where PSA Airlines was nearly the only carrier flying in the bad-weather hours of most months and there is no one to compare with.

This is the weather reported at the origin in the hour a flight was scheduled to leave, July 2023 – August 2026. It leaves out the weather at the destination and on the way, and an hour takes the worst conditions any report in it gave. Weather was matched to 62.5% of PSA Airlines’ scheduled departures: the rest left from airports with no archived weather, in hours with no report, or at a scheduled time the flight records cannot place exactly. The comparison covers 802 airport-months in which PSA Airlines flew in bad weather; the other carriers are held to the same airport and calendar month, not the same hour of the day or the same aircraft, so a carrier that schedules more of those departures at the busiest or the quietest times is not fully adjusted for. 1,396 of its bad-weather departures were in an airport and month where the other carriers had fewer than 120 of their own, and are not in that comparison.

Turning aircraft around at PSA Airlines

Time on the ground between one flight and the next of the same aircraft, and what a late arrival does to the next departure, July 2023 – August 2026.

The median PSA Airlines turn is scheduled for 45 minutes on the ground and takes 49 minutes, against 56 minutes and 63 minutes across all airlines. PSA Airlines schedules its aircraft a shorter time on the ground than the network does. 21.6% of its turns began with an aircraft that landed 15 or more minutes late, against 19.0% for the network.

When the aircraft landed 15 or more minutes late (121,446 turns, 68 minutes late on average), 72% of the turns were finished in no more than the scheduled ground time, against 68% across all airlines. 73% of those flights left 15 or more minutes late, against 72%. After an aircraft that landed on time, 9% did (network 11%).

Given the turn lengths it schedules, the network’s rates would give 62% finished in the schedule and 76% leaving late. By that measure PSA Airlines finished more late turns in the schedule and passed lateness on less often than the network would have. 45% of its late-inbound turns had a scheduled turn of 30 to 44 minutes, against 20% of the network’s.

Turns, PSA Airlines against the network

562,502 turns, July 2023 – August 2026

PSA Airlines aircraft turns against all airlines: scheduled and actual time on the ground and what a late inbound aircraft does
Measure	PSA Airlines	All airlines	All airlines, same turn lengths
Median scheduled turn	45 min	56 min	—
Median actual turn	49 min	63 min	—
Turns that began with an aircraft 15+ minutes late	22%	19%	—

Late inbound that left 15+ minutes late	73%	72%	76%
On-time inbound that left 15+ minutes late	9%	11%	—

Late means 15 or more minutes. A turn finishes within the schedule when the aircraft spent no more time on the ground than the schedule gave it. The last column applies the network’s rate in each scheduled-turn band (under 30 minutes up to 3 to 6 hours) to the number of PSA Airlines turns in that band, so it shows what the same turn lengths would give across all airlines.

A turn pairs an aircraft’s landing with its next departure by tail number; the aircraft is never named. These 562,502 turns are 76% of PSA Airlines’ flights in the period; the rest are an aircraft’s first flight after a long stay, flights without a usable inbound, and cancelled flights. Ground time is measured from the gate: the scheduled turn plus the departing flight’s delay minus the inbound’s arrival delay. Overnight stays (6 hours or more on the ground), cancelled flights and flights whose inbound diverted are not turns here. Turns scheduled under 30 minutes are a small share and are kept, but they are rarely a plan for that aircraft (more often a swap or recovery, with the flight waiting for an aircraft that was not the one scheduled), so most of them across the network leave late even after an on-time landing. A flight that an airline covered with a different aircraft is linked to the one that flew it, not the one first planned.

Hours and months appear only where both sides have at least 120 completed flights; airports only where PSA Airlines and everyone else there each have at least 500. Gaps must be at least 2 points and 2 standard errors, and only the largest in each direction is shown. Airlines fly different airports, so the hour and month rows partly compare different traffic; the airport rows compare like with like. The taxi figure is weighted by departures, mixes airports, and has no error estimate, so it appears from 2 minutes.

PSA Airlines departed from 119 airports in this period, with no single one accounting for more than 21.0% of departures and the largest three together 43.9%. Performance is spread across the network rather than resting on one or two hubs, so a single weak airport moves this carrier’s overall figure less than it would at a hub-and-spoke airline.

July 2023 – August 2026. Airports need at least 2,000 completed flights by PSA Airlines, routes 600. The other airlines are everyone else at the same airport or on the same route, compared only where they have at least 500 (airports) or 200 (routes) completed flights; a gap counts as ahead or behind only at 2 points and 2 standard errors. Route figures are for one direction. Airlines fly different times of day and aircraft, so a gap is a comparison, not a cause.

Source: FlyerIntel analysis of US DOT BTS data · July 2023 – August 2026 · A flight number is a slot in a schedule and gets reassigned to different city pairs over time, so each is measured only on the route it currently operates. Numbers with fewer than 600 operations on that route, or last flown more than a quarter ago, are not ranked. Schedules change, so confirm a departure still operates before booking around it.

Compare airlines

PSA Airlines arrives on time 75.6% of the time. Allegiant Air (75.7%) is just ahead of it on that measure and Spirit Airlines (75.5%) just behind.

Data and methodology

Calculated by FlyerIntel from 738,753 PSA Airlines flight records published by the US DOT Bureau of Transportation Statistics, covering July 2023 – August 2026. A flight counts as delayed when it arrives 15 or more minutes after schedule. Cancelled and diverted flights are excluded from the on-time rate and reported separately, because folding them in would flatter a carrier that cancels rather than runs late. Figures below a published sample threshold are omitted rather than shown with a caveat.
