What separates them
The same period, the same source, the same definition of late.
Honolulu (HNL) scores 82 and Dallas–Fort Worth (DFW) 49 — 34 points apart. Departures from HNL arrive on time 85.3% of the time against 73.1% from DFW, and are cancelled 0.90% of the time against 2.27%.
Across the 64 airports the score bands fall 10 strong, 35 good and 19 fair. The bands are fixed cut-offs on the 0–100 scale rather than a curve fitted to the airports currently loaded, so an airport’s band does not change when coverage expands. Traffic is not the story either: ATL handles the most departures of any airport here — 1,012,247 — and ranks 31 of 64.
