What the record says about VPS
VPS runs about as well as the average airport here.
The airlines flying from here are not equally affected. Southwest Airlines left on time 11.4 points more often than American Airlines from the same airport — which is the clearest evidence available that a delayed departure is not purely the airport's fault.
With 40 routes in the record, VPS is a hub, and hubs carry a particular risk: a delay early in the day propagates through every aircraft that was due to fly on afterwards. Morning departures from a hub are reliably better than evening ones.
