- Which airline is most on time from PBI to BDL?
- JetBlue, with a season-adjusted 76% chance of operating and arriving on time over 515 flights. The adjustment compares each airline with what the route did in the months it flew, so a carrier that skipped a stormy month gets no free credit.

- June (69% on time); the best was October (90%), averaged over Jun 2023 to May 2026.
