Where these figures come from
Puerto Rico’s own regulator does not publish punctuality data
These figures come from the US Bureau of Transportation Statistics, which reports every flight at its own end of the route — whichever airline operates it. So this is not a picture of all air travel in Puerto Rico — domestic flights within Puerto Rico, and its routes to countries that publish nothing, are absent.
What the record shows
On Puerto Rico routes the airlines separate clearly: Delta Air Lines arrived on time 12.8 points more often than Southwest Airlines. Both fly the same corridors into the same airports, so the difference is in how each is run rather than where each flies.
Because these flights are counted at the other end of the route, the picture is partial by construction. Domestic flying inside Puerto Rico does not appear, and neither do its routes to countries that publish nothing. What is here is accurate; it is simply not everything.

Common questions
Which airline is most punctual on Puerto Rico routes?
Delta Air Lines, at 86.7% on time across 591 flights on those routes. The least punctual was Southwest Airlines at 73.9%.
Does Puerto Rico publish flight delay data?
No. Puerto Rico publishes no punctuality data of its own. The figures here come from the US Bureau of Transportation Statistics, which reports every flight at its own end of the route — so domestic flying inside Puerto Rico is not covered.
Can I claim compensation for a delayed flight from Puerto Rico?
There is no statutory compensation scheme for flights departing Puerto Rico. A cancellation normally entitles you to a refund under the airline's own conditions of carriage, and European rules may still reach your flight if the journey ends in the EU or UK on a European carrier.
