The Flight That’s Late Over 50% of the Time

If you’re hoping to get to your destination on time, it might be best to avoid Spirit Airlines. While the airline says that it’s airline-flight-is-now-on-time-almost”>trying to be more punctual, one of its flights isn’t doing it’s part to raise the average.

Spirit Flight 140 from Orlando International Airport to Newark Liberty International Airport has been reported by the U.S. Department of Transportation as being “chronically late” (defined as over 30 minutes late) more than half the time for five consecutive months.

On average, each of those flights was delayed by more than an hour.

Spirit Airlines declined to respond to the report. Dave Smallen, director of public affairs at the DOT’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics said “I can tell you that the Spirit flight as well as a JetBlue flight that was reported as chronically delayed for five months previously in 2017 are both under review by the DOT enforcement office.”

He declined to elaborate further.
