United Airlines Leads Industry in On-Time Performance in 2002
Monday February 3, 11:44 am ET
CHICAGO, Feb. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- United Airlines (NYSE: UAL - News)

on-time performance in the full year 2002, according to the official U.S.
Department of Transportation's Air Travel Consumer report issued earlier
today.
"This is wonderful news," said Pete McDonald, executive vice president-
operations.
"The government report offers tangible evidence that things have changed for
the better at United Airlines. In a single year we vaulted from eighth place
to first place in on-time arrivals.
"For United's customers, reliable on-time service allows them to make firm
plans with confidence. And for our employees this honor validates their
focus on getting our flights out and in on time day after day throughout the
year. And, finally, the No. 1 ranking helps to differentiate United from the
pack in an industry viewed by some as a commodity," McDonald said.
This table shows the rankings of carriers for the year 2002:
2002
1. United
2. American
3. Continental
4. US Airways
5. America West
6. Southwest
7. Northwest
8. Delta
9. American Eagle
10. Alaska
The year 2002 was an extraordinary one for United in many ways, not the
least of which was the company's record-breaking operational performance.
Employees broke 35 company records and achieved the best overall performance
in the company's 77-year history.
Among the highlights were these:
Departures exactly on-time
00) were 70 percent, 14 percentage points
higher than the company's previous high in 1999;
Departure completion was 99.2 percent, a figure that the company hasn't
approached since 1995;
Arrivals on-time within 14 minutes of schedule were at 84 percent, six
points better than the previous high mark established in 1994;
All of these accomplishments came during a year when the company's overall
load factor was 73.6 percent, the highest since 2000.
