What the record says about HNL

Departures from HNL leave close to schedule more often than most airports in the record. An airport this punctual is usually one with spare capacity in its runway slots.

The airlines flying from here are not equally affected. Southwest Airlines left on time 9 points more often than United Airlines from the same airport — which is the clearest evidence available that a delayed departure is not purely the airport's fault.
