What the record says about NAT

Departures from NAT 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. Azul Linhas Aéreas left on time 9.1 points more often than LATAM Brasil from the same airport — which is the clearest evidence available that a delayed departure is not purely the airport's fault.
